Jolt to West Indies, injured Andre Russell ruled out of WC

West Indies' all-rounder Andre Russell was on Monday ruled out of the ongoing 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup owing to a hamstring injury. He will now be replaced by 26-year-old batsman Sunil Ambris and will join up with his team in preparation for his side's match against India at Old Trafford on Thursday.

 

Russell, 31, had taken five wickets in four games but was seen struggling with a knee problem. Russell had a brilliant IPL 2019 season with Kolkata Knight Riders but failed to replicate the show in England.
