BASSETERRE, St. Kitts — Russell retiring hurt is cause for concern in the Jamaica Tallawahs camp; the explosive all-rounder was stretchered off the field during their Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) fixture against St Lucia Zouks a short while ago.
Russell, who batted at number six with the Tallawahs on 137-5, was hit near his right ear by the last ball of the 14th over bowled by South African Hardus Viljoen.
Attempting a pull shot the delivery cramped Russell for space.
