T20 World Cup: West Indies power hitter Andre Russell bid farewell to international cricket on Wednesday (IST) in the second T20 against Australia at Sabina Park, where the visitors secured a massive eight-wicket victory.

Having confirmed the first two T20I’s of the five-game series will be his last and wanting to play his farewell game in his hometown, Russell walked out to bat when the hosts were 98/5 and raced away to score a vital 36 off 15 deliveries, while smacking six maximums and two boundaries.

The 37-year-old took the time to thank the fans for their support and admitted it was time to move on.
