What I saw of him during the IPL in particular for KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders), wasn’t great and it didn’t fill me with a lot of confidence. But at the moment it is pretty glaring. He has got the skills and he is one of the greatest short-form batters that has played for Australia, so he can definitely turn it around, but what I saw didn’t fill me with a lot of confidence.”

According to Shane Watson, it is now too late to drop the skipper ahead of the World Cup. Irrespective of his form, Finch was in the Australian line-up in both the T20 world Cup-winning nine moment and the ODI world-winning nine moments. But certain several matches are remaining before the commencement of the T20 world cup. And Finch can utilize these matches to regain his form in the shorter format. He usually bats as the opener of Aussie. For this, his form would be a vital asset for Australia for getting a supportive start.
