Cricket News: In bad times for West Indies cricket, Andre Russell has said he wants to come forward and play international cricket again. What did he say?
News about cricket: The West Indies team, which was once thought to be the best, is now very weak. From this, we can tell that it won’t even qualify for the ODI World Cup 2023 after the T20 World Cup 2022. Andre Russell, the team’s best all-around player, is very upset right now. He has said that he wants to play again for the West Indies. Russell is putting all of his attention on the T20 World Cup in 2024.
Russell told the Jamaica Observer about what it’s like to play for the national team. In his comment, he said, “I’m ready to play for the West Indies team.” I want to play in the next World Cup (T20 World Cup 2024), so it would be great if they picked me for the team. I’m willing to play a few games to keep my options open. I know how to do things. After almost a year and a half, Andre Russell has said that he wants to play international cricket again.
When talking to Darren Sammy
Andre Russell wants to play in the 5-match T20 series against Team India starting on August 3, but this will be decided by the West Indies Cricket Board. Andre Russell hasn’t even talked to a board member about this problem yet. Russell, on the other hand, has said that he has talked to head coach Darren Sammy about this.
Andre Russell hits with a lot of force. When he is playing well, good bowlers are afraid to throw at him. MS Dhoni, who used to lead Team India, has said about this player that it’s hard to stop him when he’s in form. Because he hits the ball so hard that it goes straight up into the air.
Russell’s last game for the West Indies was in 2021.
In 2021, during the Abu Dhabi T20 World Cup, Andre Russell played his last international match for the West Indies against Australia. Since then, Russell has not played cricket on an international level. People say that the West Indies Cricket Board doesn’t pay its players enough, which is why many experienced players would rather play for a franchise than for their country.
