Sussex and former England fast bowler Steven Finn has announced his retirement from professional cricket following an 18-year career.
The 34-year-old right-armer took 125 wickets at an average of 30.40 in 36 Test appearances between 2010 and 2016.
He made his first-class debut for Middlesex in June 2005, but has not featured in red-ball cricket since July last year due to a knee injury.
Finn also played 69 ODIs and 21 T20 internationals for England.
More to follow.

Thank you Steve for the brilliant memories from your spell at Edgbaston, Ashes, day 2, 2015. You had the Hollies bouncing!

Perhaps the only elite athlete I’ve ever encountered who could genuinely be described as ‘humble’. I’ve often wondered if he might have been a lot more successful if he wasn’t such a lovely guy.

Hopefully, we'll hear much more of him on TMS; a genuinely funny and insightful bloke.

A fine bowler who always seems a decent man. Good luck to him

'Fine' as in 'of very high quality' or 'fine' as in 'acceptable'?

Stephen Finn, a good bowler of genuine pace but suffered from injury, and,probably, mismanagement of a good resource. He will be missed on the field but should flourish as a pundit.

Farewell to the very tall man - a very fine player also.

Graeme Smith ruined his career. Hope he sleeps well at night.
