"I think T20 cricket as an opening batter, that comes with some risk and reward at times when you're trying to be aggressive and get team off to a quick start," Finch said at captains' press conference.
"But it's t always going to go to plan. I'm okay with that. I think when you play T20 for long eugh, you understand that you just ride highs and lows a little bit.
