Renegades head coach

Big Bash League: Former World Cup-winning Australian captain Aaron Finch has announced his retirement from the Big Bash League (BBL) at the end of the current season with Melbourne Renegades.

The 37-year-old confirmed the news at Marvel Stadium on Thursday ahead of the Renegades clash with the Hobart Hurricanes, saying the current season will be his last.

Reflecting on his extraordinary career at both international and domestic level, Finch said he has “loved every minute." "There've been some real lows but great highs, and I’ve loved every bit of the journey. No moment can compare to winning the BBL title, that for me was very special and something I’ll remember. I’m proud to have played at the one club for the entirety of my career."
