Finch said Langer could have done better had life in different bio-bubbles been managed well.
Finch's statement came after Indian players were allowed to take their families along with them for the ongoing tour of England.
Finch said the absentees are in genuine danger of missing out on the showpiece event in October-November as others stake their claims.
Australia's Aaron Finch questioned the three reviews-per-side rule in the World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand.
The country's seven top cricketers have pulled out from the upcoming West Indies series for varied reasons and also said that they won't be visiting Bangladesh if that tour is confirmed.
With Finch’s impetus, Australia made 156-6 batting first before New Zealand foundered on a slow pitch, bowled out for 106 in 18.5 overs.
Finch, who was unsold in this year's IPL auction, single-handedly steered Australia to a challenging total at the Westpac Stadium.
Finch suggested Cricket Australia must consider a way out to manage multi-format players in the current circumstances.
The much-awaited Test series opener in Adelaide will be India's first Day/Night Test match against hosts Australia. Following the first Test match, Kohli will leave the Indian camp and return back to India to attend the birth of his first child.
Finch, who was part of the last home Test series between the two teams, said the Indian skipper looks much calmer the way he goes about his job now.
Australia head coach Justin Langer was also unhappy with Chahal stepping in the middle as a concussion substitute.
The 1-2 ODI series loss reaffirmed that India have a lot of work to do in the 50-over format but they possess a much more balanced squad in the shortest format.
Exactly 2000 runs were scored in the span of a week and it's safe to say that the Aussie batsmen made Indian bowlers look hapless.
If Australia, who are leading the three-match series 2-0, win the final match, it will be the first time they will sweep an ODI series against India at home in 20 years, though not necessarily in a bilateral series.
Warner had to helped off the field and Cricket Australia later said that he had been sent for scans for a groin strain.
Reacting to the comprehensive victory, Finch said that it was a 'perfect' performance with the bat
First time in 978 match ODI history, India have conceded 100+ opening partnerships in three consecutive matches.
India managed to post just 338 runs while chasing a daunting total of 389 runs.
While Warner departed after scoring 69, Finch stayed in the middle to notch up his 17th ODI hundred. The skipper, leading from the front, scored 114 off 124 deliveries.
Virat Kohli's men started exactly on a note they wouldn't have liked, giving away 374 runs in 50 overs with rival captain Aaron Finch (114 off 124 balls) and his illustrious predecessor Steve Smith (105 off 66 balls) hitting contrasting hundreds.
