He will retire from international cricket after the first two T20Is vs Australia in Jamaica, months before the 2026 T20 World Cup
Russell played 84 T20Is for the West Indies. Known for his raw power and match-winning skills, he was a nightmare for bowlers in the shortest format
Russell was part of the West Indies squad that won the T20 World Cup twice — in 2012 and again in 2016. A rare achievement in modern cricket
Though injuries slowed him down at times, Russell’s impact on the game never faded. His explosive performances made him a global T20 icon
After stepping away from international cricket, Russell will continue to light up franchise leagues like the IPL, ILT20, CPL, and more
Russell’s last matches in West Indies colors will be at home in Jamaica — the perfect farewell for one of the game’s most entertaining allrounders
