Aaron Finch will miss a third straight Big Bash League (BBL) 11 match for the Melbourne Renegades after not being included in their 15-player squad to take on the Brisbane Heat on Monday (December 13) night. Finch is still feeling the effects of his knee surgery prior to the T20 World Cup 2021 where he captained Australia to victory, choosing to use the opening matches of the domestic tournament to return to greater fitness.

The 35-year-old was optimistic last week of returning to action in Monday’s game on the Gold Coast but ultimately the short turnaround between games for the Renegades proved too much. However, the ’Gades will be boosted by the inclusion of recruit and new skipper, Nic Maddinson, who will play his first game for the club after defecting from the Melbourne Stars.


Having captained Australia A to a final session victory against the England Lions on Sunday afternoon, even using his own services as a bowler and taking the penultimate wicket, Maddinson will be confident in leading his new team to their second win of BBL 11.
