HIGHLIGHTS
KINGSTON, Jamaica – The upcoming T20 series between West Indies and Australia will be the final time that West Indian fans in the Caribbean and around the world will get to see one of their recent heroes wearing maroon.
This regional outfit will say farewell to two-time T20 World Cup winner Andre Russell, who will suit up for the West Indies in his final two international matches on home soil at Sabina Park, on July 20 and 22.
Russell, who has represented the West Indies in more than 140 international matches over a 15-year career, remains a high-impact player and was selected on merit as part of the competitive 16-man squad looking to climb their way up the world rankings in the lead-up to next year’s T20I World Cup.
The exciting Jamaican all-rounder expressed how grateful he is and how proud he feels to have represented the West Indies and is honoured to have worn the maroon colours for more than a decade.
He spoke about the rare opportunity of being able to close off his international chapter in familiar conditions, in front of his home fans.
CWI Head Coach Daren Sammy paid tribute to Russell’s career:
Russell will be replaced by Matthew Forde for the Warner Park leg of the series.
