Middlesex director of cricket Angus Fraser has insisted that Steven Finn will return to his best form following the news that the bowler has been sent home from the tour of Australia.

Finn was overlooked as England lost the Test series 5-0 and has been released from the squad after failing to secure a spot in the side for the defeat to Australia in the first one-day international.

"I've every confidence he will get back to his best," Fraser told BBC Sport. "He is a man trying too hard. He will work his socks off to get it right.

"It can become a job at times rather than the thing you dreamed about as a young cricketer. We'll work with England to get him back playing cricket and enjoying himself."

Finn has represented England in 23 Tests and 39 ODIs.
