The Australian skipper in ODIs and T20Is, Aaron Finch is not worried about his horrifying form in the limited overs cricket, rather he is looking forward to the Test series against India starting in December. A couple of months back, he made a fine Test debut against Pakistan in UAE but has since struggled in ODIs and T20Is, averaging just 9.6 in 10 innings since his Test debut.
As per the quoted in cricket.com.au, Finch said, “At the end of the day I’m still practicing well, still hitting them well, still feel good. I’ve been in this position before and it’s not alarming, it’s more just trying to get through that initial five-10 balls and reassess.I’ve still been working very hard on my technique and doing a lot of work with (Australia batting coach) Graeme Hick and trying to adjust a couple of little things.”

Finch will be playing a Sheffield Shield game before the first Test, representing Victoria. However, he will be batting in the middle-order for them rather than open the innings.
Describing his batting-order, Aaron said, “It’s more about time in the middle regardless where you’re batting. Runs in any position count a lot more than if you miss out opening the batting. It’s just time in the middle, to be honest. I’ve played in the middle order for Victoria for most of my career so I don’t see it as being too confusing or conflicting at all.”
The first Test between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide, starting December 6. Before which, Team India will play a four-day practice match against Cricket Australia XI which will commence on November 28. However, the last game of the ongoing three-match T20I series which Australia is leading by 1-0, will be played on Sunday in Sydney as well.
