West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell has been ruled out of the remaining England T20Is due to a left ankle sprain he sustained in the first T20I ¹. This is a significant blow to the team, as Russell brings both batting firepower and valuable experience to the middle order.
On a positive note, fast bowler Alzarri Joseph has returned to the squad after serving a two-match ban ¹. Joseph will replace Shamar Joseph and is expected to bolster the bowling attack, which struggled to contain England’s batters in the first two matches.
Shamar Springer has been named as Russell’s replacement in the squad ¹. The West Indies will be looking to Springer to make an impact and help the team turn their fortunes around in the remaining matches.
