GROS-ISLET, St Lucia – West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell has been ruled out of the Digicel Twenty20 International Series against Australia due to injury.
The 23-year-old Russell has been diagnosed with a minor, right lateral hamstring strain. Russell played through the pain barrier in the recent Digicel One-day International Series, which ended level 2-2.
He played some important knocks with 113 runs off 111 balls in four innings. He also took six wickets at 26.33 runs each, with best figures of 4-61 in the fifth and final Digicel ODI.
The West Indies squad for the second Digicel T20 will be named today.
