News summary

Andre Russell has highlighted a growing disinterest among West Indies cricketers in Test cricket, attributing it to a preference for T20 leagues rather than financial motivations. Despite the perception that financial incentives drive players towards the shorter format, Russell emphasized that many players simply lack interest in the longer format of the game. This sentiment is echoed by other prominent players like Jason Holder, who opted to participate in leagues over national Test commitments. Russell, who has only played one Test since 2010, believes that the excitement and aggressive play associated with T20 cricket appeal more to players today. He noted that if Test cricket could provide a 'big stage' similar to what T20 leagues offer, younger players would be inclined to participate. The West Indies' recent struggles in Test cricket, including a 3-0 series loss to England, further underline this shift in focus among Caribbean players.
