Andre Russell's retirement announcement comes days after the 27 all-out humiliation faced by Team West Indies in the third Test match against Team Australia at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica.
Russell has announced that he will walk away from international cricket after the first two T20I matches against Australia on his home ground - the Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica.
In those matches, he scored 1078 runs and picked up 61 wickets. He became a two-time T20 World Champion at the start of his stint in international cricket and showcased his dominance in the format.
Just like several other modern-day West Indies legends, Russell mainly focused on his T20 career and has so far played 561 games in the format. He only made him available as a T20I-only player since 2019 and decided to stay away from the other two formats.
Words cannot explain what it meant - Andre Russell
In his official retirement statement, Andre Russell said that donning the Maroon jersey for West Indies National Cricket Team was one of his "proudest achievements," and he wants to be a "role model" for the next generation of cricketers.
"When I was a kid, I did not expect to get to this level, but the more you start to play and get to love the sport, you realise what you can achieve. This inspired me to become better because I wanted to leave a mark in the maroon colours and become an inspiration to others."
Andre has always been the consummate professional - Daren Sammy
West Indies National Cricket Team head coach Daren Sammy showered rich praise on Andre Russell and labelled himself as a "fierce competitor". Daren Sammy also wished Russell luck for the next chapter.
"Whether I was captaining him or now coaching him, his hunger to perform and win for West Indies has never wavered. I wish him all the best on his next chapter, and I hope he continues to inspire generations to come."
Andre Russell's last two international appearances for the West Indies National Cricket Team will come on July 21 and 23, and after the two T20I matches, he will be replaced by Matthew Forde in the squad
