**Andre Russell’s Career and Views on Test Cricket**
Andre Russell, a 37-year-old West Indian cricketer, reflects on his career and the challenges faced by West Indian players in pursuing Test cricket. Russell, a two-time T20 World Cup winner and IPL champion, has played for numerous franchises around the globe. He attributes the lack of West Indian players in Test cricket to the financial disparities between countries and the opportunities available in shorter-format leagues. Russell reveals that he was “pushed out” of the Test set-up, being seen as a white-ball player, and has no regrets about his career choices. He remains a keen observer of Test cricket, admiring players like Ben Stokes and appreciating Brendon McCullum’s coaching style. Russell dismisses retirement talk, aiming for at least another three years, and hopes to score his first century in white-ball cricket, a milestone that has eluded him despite playing over 140 matches for West Indies.
