''Today I am retiring from all forms of cricket with immediate effect. I have been fighting a battle with my body for the last 12 months and have admitted defeat to it,'' Finn said in an official statement.
Between 2010 and 2017, the 34-year-old seamer participated in 126 matches for England, taking 254 wickets. The paceman competed for Middlesex and Sussex at the domestic level.
