When Russell was moving towards the fifties in his last innings, Nathan Ellis took his wicket and ended his career.
Russell said in a statement, “Words cannot be told what it meant. Representing the West Indies has been one of the most glorious achievements of my life. When I was a child, I did not expect to reach this point, but as you start playing and start loving the game, you realize what you can achieve in the colors because I inspire me to be better. Wanted to leave and be an inspiration for others. ”
