Ahead of the 2019 World Cup, West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell has expressed confidence in shifting back to the 50-over format, a challenge considering his frequent knee problems, as well as the time spent away from one-day internationals, specifically during his one-year anti-doping ban.
While speaking to cricket.com.au, Russell revealed that the clamour surrounding his year-long suspension in 2017, imposed after he missed three drug tests, made him feel like he “did a murder.”
“With the squad that we have here, the way that we’ve been gelling, I love the vibes, I love how everyone is focused and everyone is doing their thing. It’s not tense, it’s not tight, it’s just relaxed and that’s what we need. Our culture is [that] once we’re enjoying the game, we will hurt teams.”
