Why should I retire: Andre Russell Speaking to Jamaica Gleaner, Russell said, “I spoke to Sammy and he told me that he wants me to play international cricket for a few more years. Seeing the talent in the Caribbean team, I think I will push my body more and play international cricket for the next two years.” Russell further said, “I definitely want to play in the 2026 World Cup because I have a lot of talent that can come out. I could have retired from international cricket, but I want to see how the young all-rounders perform. I can still hit the ball anywhere, bowl at a good pace, am still fit and can run in the field. I don’t think I should stop now.” Andre Russell’s current status Currently, Andre Russell is playing for Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). His team has won five out of eight matches so far and has qualified for the playoffs, which will start on October 1.
