England fast bowler announced Retirement before World Cup 2023

England fast bowler Steven Finn has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. The right-arm pacer played 36 Tests, 69 ODIs and 21 T20Is for England in his international career. Speaking to BCC Sport, Finn confirmed that he has been fighting a battle with his body for the last 12 months.

Having spent most of his career with his home county Middlesex, Finn made the move to Sussex in 2022 and made 19 appearances that season, taking 21 wickets. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury that has kept him out of the game in 2023 and has now decided that it is time to call it a day on a magnificent 18-year career.

Speaking on a England fast bowler Finn’s decision to retire, Sussex Head Coach, Paul Farbrace said: “Steven has been a fantastic bowler for Middlesex, Sussex and England. “I have had the real pleasure of watching him develop from a young bowler in the pathway to being three times Ashes winner.

“In our short time together here at Hove, Steven has been an outstanding role model, a top professional and above all a fantastic person. “Over the next few weeks and months, I’m sure he will look back on his career with great pride and reflect on his huge contribution to the game.

“At this time there is huge disappointment that he can’t continue his career having worked so hard to get back to full fitness.”
