Meanwhile, one of their pillars in the team and the most reliable all-rounder Andre Russell has been ruled out of the T20 series following a knee injury. According to a report by ESPN Cricinfo, Russell missed the flight from Dubai today and was not available for the practise.
With his absence, skipper Carlos Braithwaite have to step up the peddle and fulfill the role of Russell in the team. Kieran Pollard is the other all-rounder in the team.
