XtraTime Web Desk: West Indies star all-rounder Andre Russell underwent a successful knee surgery on Wednesday after he as ruled out of the World Cup due to injury.
Now he is eyeing for a quick recovery in coming days and beside that he is also considering for a surgery on his right knee as well.
Before the laparoscopy or keyhole surgery, Russell expressed that the surgery was necessary to remedy what has been a long-standing cloud over his prolific career as a T20 cricketer, rated as perhaps the best in the world.
“The knees have been giving me problems for years now, when I get back I’ll be a better cricketer in terms of my fitness level,” he told the Jamaica Observer after announcing his recent withdrawal from the West Indies team.
Sunil Ambris has replaced Russell, who played four games for the West Indies during the ongoing ICC World Cup campaign.
On Wednesday, he posted a picture from his hospital room on Instagram, under which he stated that the surgery was a success.
