Reflecting on his decision to step away, Russell said that he wanted to leave on a high note and as an inspiration for the youngsters. He will be replaced by Matthew Forde for the last three T20Is. It is pertinent to point out that Russell’s decision to retire comes weeks after Nicholas Pooran announced his shock retirement from international cricket abruptly.
“Words cannot explain what it meant. To represent the West Indies has been one of the proudest achievements in my life. 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,” Russell said, as per ESPN Cricinfo.
