“Whoever takes over the leadership of that team, and as the new opener, you have to give them enough time and space to work in those roles and give them a great opportunity to make the team their own over the next 18 months. I’ve been fortunate to play for 12 years, and I think the team is now in a really good position for me to move on,” Finch said.
