PERTH (Reuters) - Aaron Finch, who called time on his international career on Tuesday, had his first brush with the elite stars of the global game when he faced Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly in 2007.

The Indians were in whites but this was not a test match but a first-class match between Finch's state side, Victoria, and the touring test squad at Melbourne's suburban Junction Oval.
