FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida,  CMC – Injury has forced marquee all-rounder Andre Russell out of the three-match Twenty20 International series against India starting here Saturday.

The 31-year-old informed selectors he would be unavailable for the series after experiencing discomfort in his troublesome left knee while at the ongoing Global T20 Canada.
