Russell yet to join West Indies team

Explosive all-rounder Andre Russell is yet to join the West Indies team for their first T20 international of the threematch series against India here at the Eden Gardens.

India take on the Windies in the first contest on Sunday and Russell was included in the squad alongwith Keiron Pollard and Darren Bravo.

West Indies team media manager Trinidadian Naasira Mohammed refused to comment on Russell’s status when asked why he was not seen in practice with the team.
