Andre Russell plans to conclude his international cricket career following limited participation in the upcoming Australia series. The 37-year-old all-rounder will compete in the opening two Twenty20 matches at Sabina Park before stepping away from West Indies duty. Cricket West Indies confirmed his selection for the Jamaica fixtures, while Russell will skip the final three games in St. Kitts and Nevis. His international record spans 84 T20I appearances with 1078 runs scored and 61 wickets taken across two World Cup victories in 2012 and 2016. Russell has dominated franchise cricket with 561 matches producing 9316 runs at a 168.31 strike rate alongside 485 dismissals.

The 16-member squad features first-time selections for teenagers Jewel Andrew and Jediah Blades. Andrew earned his maiden T20I opportunity after impressing selectors with aggressive batting displays against spin bowling since his ODI debut last October. The versatile 18-year-old also provides wicketkeeping options for the coaching staff. Veterans Akeal Hosein, Jason Holder, and Rovman Powell return to strengthen the squad composition.
