ANDRE Russell attempted to clear the air on why he is playing in the Lanka Premier League (LPL) and not representing the West Indies in New Zealand. According to Russell, his efforts to play for West Indies did not materialise and, he wanted to be fully fit to represent the region.
On October 19, Russell was selected by the Colombo Kings in round two of the LPL draft. The LPL ends in Sri Lanka on Wednesday.
