“I think it will be a really interesting transition over the next two years,” Finch told reporters.
“No doubt we’ve got a very experienced side at the moment when everyone is available. It’s a very experienced squad.”
“No doubt over the next couple of years there’ll be quite a bit of turnover so having someone who can manage that transition of players will be really important.”
