Nic Maddinson: After regular captain, Aaron Finch elected to stand down due to a hectic international schedule. Nic Maddinson will lead the Melbourne Renegades in the 11th edition of the Big Bash League.
Finch, who has led the Renegades since the BBL’s second season. Is dealing with knee issues and will likely miss the start of the upcoming season.
Finch spoke about his decision to retire, which he reached after consulting with coach David Saker:
“That was a really easy one, to be honest,” “It was a chat I had with Sakes, probably two months, six weeks ago about I think just having a young family and I guess captaining every game that you play around the world.
“It does take its toll and probably doesn’t allow you enough time at times to be able to work on your own game as much as you would like and I suppose in the Big Bash, we’ve got a really young squad at the Renegades and I think to have the opportunity to work with the young players a bit closer as just as a player and not have your focus taken away from just helping them out as much as you can by meetings and strategy meetings and things like that, I think it will be really important.

Maddinson will miss the start of the BBL season because he is a member of the Australia A team.
That will face the England Lions from December 9, as well as the intra-squad match leading up to the Ashes.
“Hopefully I can be a really important part of the transition with Maddo as captain as well. I think I wouldn’t like to leave the Renegades, say I play for two more years and I just captain right to the end of that. And there’s been no real succession plan, I think that would be a bit unfair. So hopefully I can still have an impact with Maddo and sort of helping him if need be.”
Shaun Marsh, who is suffering from a calf rupture. And Marcus Harris will also be out for the Renegades (Test duties).
