Ex-England bowler Finn retires after injury battle
Tuesday, 15 August 2023
LONDON, Aug 14 (AFP): Former England fast bowler Steven Finn retired on Monday after the three-time Ashes winner accepted "defeat" in his battle against a host of injury problems.
Finn took 125 wickets in 36 Test appearances for England at an average of 30.4 between 2010 and 2016.
The 34-year-old also played in 69 one-day internationals and 21 Twenty20 internationals for England.
Hampered by various injuries, Finn slipped out of the England squad and has not played red-ball cricket since July 2022.
"I have been fighting a battle with my body for the last 12 months and have admitted defeat to it," Finn said.
