Career

Finch was part of age-group sides at Sussex from the age of 10^[3] and made his senior debut in a List A match against the Netherlands on 20 May 2013.^[4] He was released by Sussex at the end of the 2020 season^[5] and played for Kent's Second XI during the early months of the 2021 season.^[1] He scored his maiden Championship hundred against Middlesex at Hove in 2018 playing for Sussex.^[6]

He made his senior debut for Kent following a member of the county's First XI squad testing positive for COVID-19 which required the players involved in the county's previous match to all self-isolate.^[7][8] As a result, a number of Second XI players or "homegrown prospects"^[7] were drafted into the squad and made their senior debuts for the county.

On 10 August 2022, Finch re-joined Kent for the remainder of the One-Day Cup as cover for a number of players absent due to injuries and The Hundred.^[9] He has also played Australian Grade cricket for Yarraville Cricket Club.
