Aaron Finch is weighing up his future in the green and gold, with a focus on the upcoming BBL season front of mind for the current Australian T20 captain after the hosts bowed out of the World Cup tournament.
With time on his hands to make a decision on his career in the shortest format, an extended break on the international scene will pave the way for attention to be channelled towards the domestic competition.
"No, I'm not going to retire. Not just yet... I'll play Big Bash and see where we sit after that, but I'm still enjoying playing cricket, playing T20," Finch said, via ESPN.
"There's not another international T20 until August, so there's quite a long break.
"Still plenty of time to be able to weigh all that up. It's been a pretty good ride regardless of what happens."
Head coach Andrew McDonald spoke to the press stating the conversations surrounding retirement tend to be solved in due course with a mutual understanding often the way in most cases.
"Any time that you, I suppose, start to think about it then the end will be one day closer, there's no doubt about that," he said.
"I think the Big Bash will probably determine his future - how he goes there, his performances, how his body is holding up.
