Australia T20I captain Aaron Finch has said the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 taking place at home is not going to change anything in terms of the team’s preparation for the showpiece event. The 35-year-old, who recently retired from ODI cricket mainly due to poor form over the last one year, added T20 cricket is ‘really difficult game’ and that his side was just focusing on how to play it in the best possible manner without thinking too much about the pressure.



“The external noise is that there is extra pressure because you’re at home and you’re defending (the World Cup),” Finch told SEN 1170 Afternoons on Tuesday. “We haven’t talked about that (pressure) once, the reality is every time you walk and mark centre for Australia there is pressure. We certainly haven’t focused on that at all, we’ve been really clear with how we want to play, appreciating that T20 cricket is really difficult game,” added Finch.


Australia enter the event as favourites though Finch’s form has been patchy, with several experts urging the selectors to look at options, especially young allrounder Cameron Green.
