I thought the timing to quit ODI cricket was right now: Aaron Finch

Australian batting stalwart and white-ball skipper Aaron Finch, who announced his retirement from One-day International (ODI) cricket on Sunday, conceded he wouldn't have made it to the side for the 50-over World Cup in India next year as his form and left shoulder injuries had been giving him trouble for quite some time.

Finch's poor form, which has plagued him since much before the ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE last year, continued in the three-match ODI series against New Zealand currently underway, with the 35-year-old opening batter getting dismissed in bizarre fashion for a duck in the second match at Cairns on September 8.

In the opening match of the series too, he made just five runs before he was dismissed by Black Caps quick Trent Boult.
