Summary
- Andre Russell retired hurt during CPL 2026 Eliminator.
- He missed three CPL 2026 matches earlier due to injury.
- JKM awaits news on Russell's availability for Qualifier 2.
Jamaica Kingsmen (JKM) all-rounder Andre Russell sustained an injury during the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2026 Eliminator match on September 16. He was bowling his spell when he clutched his back and limped off the field, requiring his spell to be completed by Rovman Powell.
Russell's effectiveness with the ball was evident as he took two early wickets. Despite his discomfort, his efforts helped restrict Barbados Tridents to 144-6. JKM successfully chased the target to advance to Qualifier 2.
This injury adds to Russell's history of fitness issues, having missed three CPL 2026 matches earlier in the season. His return to the league phase was short-lived as he re-injured himself. JKM will be hoping for his swift recovery for the upcoming knockout match on September 18.
