Andre Russell said on ‘Star Sports’ show Cricket Live, ‘To be honest, I am very happy for Sunil. Getting close to 500 runs in a tournament is no joke. He is the main bowler of the team. Due to this, he bowls four overs and has taken 16 wickets in this season. This shows that he is an excellent all-rounder.
Andre Russell requested him to return for the World Cup to be held in America and West Indies. He said, ‘I think they should think about a comeback. Two weeks before the team selection, I was trying to understand his mind. (Scherfan) Rutherford and I tried to talk to him and said can you take back your retirement just for this World Cup. But no positive response was received.
All-rounder Russell says, ‘Sunil is such a player whose absence is being felt by the team. But I think he has made up his mind and I also respect his decision. I believe that if he changes his decision then the whole West Indies will be happy.’ Sunil Narine has scored 482 runs in 13 matches in IPL 2024 with the help of one century and three half-centuries. His strike rate has been 179.85. Narine has also taken 16 wickets at an average of 22.
