Australian limited overs captain Aaron Finch was furious at his teammates, who preferred the IPL over the national team. Finch expressed surprise considering Australia’s workload over the next few months. He said in a conversation with Sen Radio, ‘I am a little surprised. I talked to all of them. It’s a bit surprising, but it’s understandable. But I think he should have been available for the national team. I think it will be difficult for him to justify playing in the second phase of IPL 2021.
