Andre Russell
MANCHESTER, June 24
West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell will play no further part at the World Cup after being withdrawn from the squad due to a knee injury. Russell made four appearances in the competition, but was not involved in the dramatic five-run defeat by New Zealand in Manchester on Saturday. Much was expected from Russell in the World Cup, especially after his stupendous show in this year’s IPL, but Russell was far from his best in the quadrennial event while struggling with chronic knee issues. Top order batsman Sunil Ambris, who impressed with a sparkling 148 off 126 balls in an ODI win over Ireland last month, has been drafted as a replacement in the 15-man squad. — Agencies
