Russell's sparkling farewell in vain
Andre Russell waves to fans at his home ground in Kingston, Jamaica, after batting for the final time in international cricket against Australia on Tuesday. Photo: AFP Andre Russell struck a sparkling 36 off 15 balls in his final innings before retirement on Tuesday but could not save the West Indies from losing the second Twenty20 international against Australia in Kingston. The 37-year-old all-rounder was unable to script a fairytale farewell to his glittering T20 career, but departed to a standing ovation on his home Sabina Park ground after hitting four trademark sixes and two fours. Batting at number seven in his 85th and last T20 international, Russell's cameo, plus a late flurry from Gudakesh Motie (18 off nine balls) added to 51 from opener Brandon King enabled the hosts to score 172-8 off their 20 overs. But a record 131-run stand by Josh Inglis, who made 78 not out, and Cameron Green (56 not out) saw Australia race to an eight-wicket win with more than four overs to spare. It was Australia's highest third-wicket partnership in Twenty20 internationals and, aided by six dropped catches by West Indies fielders, gave the visitors a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. Inglis hit seven fours and five sixes while Green was barely more sedate, clearing the ropes four times and stroking three fours in his second consecutive fifty. "I didn't want to finish on a losing note," said Russell, whose spectacular final knock had briefly thrilled his hometown crowd. "I enjoy seeing the ball go over the ropes," he added. Andre Russell of West Indies is given a guard of honour before his final appearance for the West Indies in Kingston "As a kid you dream about playing here. Thanks to all the fans who came out to support me." Russell, who was given a guard of honour before the match by both teams, played just one Test match. It was as a Twenty20 specialist that he made his name, winning the T20 World Cup twice with the West Indies in 2012 and 2016. A more than lively seam bowler, Russell's free-scoring late-order batting and athletic fielding saw him sought after by T20 leagues around the world. He has been with Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL since 2014, scoring more than 2,400 runs.

Russell's sparkling farewell in vain as Australia sprint to T20 win
Andre Russell struck a sparkling 36 off 15 balls in his final innings before retirement on Tuesday (July 23, 2025) but could not save the West Indies from losing the second Twenty20 international against Australia in Kingston.

Australia Take 2-0 Lead In Andre Russell's Sparkling T20I Farewell
Andre Russell produced a typical blistering innings to propel West Indies to a competitive total which Australia easily chased down to win the 2nd T20I by 8 wickets. Andre Russell delivered a dazzling 36 off 15 balls in his final innings before retirement on Tuesday but could not prevent the West Indies from losing the second Twenty20 international against Australia in Kingston. The 37-year-old all-rounder was unable to script a fairytale end to his illustrious T20 career, but he left to a standing ovation on his home ground at Sabina Park after hitting four trademark sixes and two fours. Batting at number seven in his 85th and last T20 international, Russell's brief but explosive innings, along with a late surge from Gudakesh Motie (18 off nine balls) and a solid 51 from opener Brandon King, helped the hosts reach 172-8 in their 20 overs. However, a record 131-run partnership by Josh Inglis, who scored 78 not out, and Cameron Green (56 not out) led Australia to an eight-wicket victory with more than four overs to spare. It was Australia's highest third-wicket partnership in Twenty20 internationals, assisted by six dropped catches from West Indies fielders, giving the visitors a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. Inglis struck seven fours and five sixes, while Green, only slightly more restrained, cleared the ropes four times and hit three fours in his second consecutive fifty. 'I didn't want to finish on a losing note," said Russell, whose spectacular final knock had briefly thrilled his hometown crowd. 'I enjoy seeing the ball go over the ropes," he added. 'As a kid, you dream about playing here. Thanks to all the fans who came out to support me." Russell, who received a guard of honour from both teams before the match, played just one Test match. He made his name as a Twenty20 specialist, winning the T20 World Cup twice with the West Indies in 2012 and 2016. A highly energetic seam bowler, Russell's free-scoring late-order batting and athletic fielding made him highly sought after by T20 leagues worldwide.

How will the sports governance bill impact BCCI? Explained
BCCI President Roger Binny cuts a cake to mark the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League before the opening cricket match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. (PTI Photo/Swapan Mahapatra) *** Local Caption *** The sports governance bill will bring the world's richest and most powerful cricket board under its ambit. There was considerable scepticism over how the legislation would impact the board's functioning and affect its upcoming elections. TOI explains... Is current BCCI president Roger Binny eligible for another term? No. The 1983 World Cup-winning team's hero is not eligible to contest for the president's post for another term as he has already attained the maximum age limit of 70 years. Binny turned 70 last Saturday. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Why can't he contest? The bill followed the age provisions of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), and International Federations (IFs). In cricket's case, the sport's global governing body – International Cricket Council (ICC) – did not have any age-cap provision, like 70 or 75 years. The bill incorporated the provisions of the Justice Lodha Committee, which framed the BCCI's constitution, and set the age cap of 70 for its office-bearers. Therefore, Binny cannot contest. Does BCCI have to conduct elections? It is mandatory for BCCI to hold fresh elections in its Sept or Oct Annual General Meeting (AGM) to elect a new president and a set of office-bearers. Failing to do so would result in the govt's refusal to renew its annual recognition as per the provisions of the governance bill. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo In case of failure, its recognition would be revoked and it would not be allowed to use the name 'India' to represent the country in international tournaments, or host any fixtures as a national team. Can BCCI amend its constitution? Yes. The BCCI's constitution provides for one three-year term for an office-bearer, before a mandatory cooling-off period of the same duration. An office-bearer can again return to contest for any post after serving the cooling-off period. The BCCI could change its constitution at its AGM but in case of dispute, the aggrieved parties would have to approach the National Sports Tribunal first. The tribunal's verdict can only be challenged in the Supreme Court. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
