Aaron Finch Disagrees with Rohit Sharma’s Proposal of Three-Match WTC Final, Says “It would be a waste of time”

The former Australia captain expresses his disagreement with Rohit Sharma's suggestion of a three-match WTC final, citing time constraints and the potential for drawn matches or one-sided outcomes as reasons why it could be a waste of time.

Following India’s defeat in the WTC final against Australia, Rohit Sharma expressed his disappointment with the current format and proposed a three-match WTC final for the next cycle. However, his idea was met with disagreement from former Australia captain Aaron Finch.

Rohit, in his press conference, advocated for a longer series, stating, “We should have a three-Test match series for the WTC final from the next cycle. We work hard and play just one game.”

In response, Pat Cummins referred to the Olympics and argued that having one final is sufficient, drawing a parallel to the single decisive race for a gold medal.

Aaron Finch, analyzing Rohit’s proposition, expressed his reservations, particularly if one team ends up dominating the series or all three matches result in draws. He cautioned that in such scenarios, it would ultimately be a waste of time.

“Having one Test for the finals is the reality of the scheduling and time constraints. I have no issues with Rohit’s idea, but if all three matches get drawn out, or a team annihilates the other, it becomes a waste of time,” stated Finch.

Finch’s perspective sheds light on the practicality of Rohit’s proposal, taking into consideration factors such as limited scheduling and the potential outcomes of an extended series.

While Rohit’s suggestion may have stemmed from a desire to provide more opportunities for teams to prove themselves in the pinnacle event, Finch’s counterargument highlights the need to strike a balance between a comprehensive format and practicality within the constraints of time and scheduling.
