Andre Russell Says More Than Money Behind West Indies Stars' Test Absence

By AFP News August 03, 2024 • 08:17 AM View: 696

London Spirit's Andre Russell has insisted a lack of interest more than a lack of money is why some leading West Indies cricketers have turned their back on the Test-match game and concentrated on limited-overs formats instead.

England's lopsided 3-0 Test series rout of the once dominant West Indies completed earlier this month took place when several current Caribbean star performers were preparing for lucrative stints in English domestic cricket's Hundred competition.
