Profile:

The West Indies have always had a rich history of producing hard-hitting all-rounders and they continue to produce the most brutal hitters of the cricket ball. Andre Russell is right up there when it comes to winning games with some clean hitting. Hailing from Jamaica, Andre Russell began his professional career when he made his List A debut for Jamaica against the Windward Islands in January 2007.

Seen as a white ball specialist, the selectors took notice of his performances for Jamaica in the domestic circuit and surprisingly called him up for the Test side for the tour of Sri Lanka in 2010, where he made his Test debut. He was then picked in the 2011 Cricket World Cup squad, where he made his ODI debut against Ireland at Mohali. Russell was handed his T20I cap during the home series against Pakistan in April 2011. It should come as no surprise that a player of the caliber of Andre Russell has been a part of several franchises across the globe.

In the Caribbean Premier League, he has been part of the Jamaica Tallawahs and the Trinbago Knight Riders. He was the mainstay of the Tallawahs during the 2013 CPL season, taking them to the CPL title in that season. Russell has been part of the Delhi and Kolkata franchises in the Indian T20 League. He played a key role in Kolkata’s title-winning campaign in 2014. He has also played for a few franchises in the Bangladesh Premier League, Pakistan Super League, and The Hundred.

In the recent past, Andre Russell has been overlooked by the West Indies selectors in both white-ball formats. He can mow down bowling attacks with brute force with the bat. With the ball, he tends to hit the deck and extract a sharp bounce from the surface and a versatile player like Andre Russell can win games on his own. He has been retained by the Kolkata franchise for the 2023 edition at INR 16 crore and a lot is expected from this swashbuckling cricketer.

In 2023, Russell had quite a brilliant year wherever he played and made his way back into the national white-ball side as well. He will continue to reprsent Kolkata in the Indian T20 League in the 2024 edition as well.
