Ace West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell has declared he wants to be a part of his country`s campaign in the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia in two months` time, but has added that Cricket West Indies (CWI) should also agree to his terms. Russell, who last featured for his country in last year`s ICC T20 World Cup in Dubai, said at 34 it was his wish to win the Cup for his country. Speaking to former team-mate Daren Sammy about his international availability prior to a domestic match in England, Russell told Sky Sports: "I always want to play and give back. But at the end of the day, if we are not agreeing on certain terms...they (CWI) have to respect my terms as well. At the end of the day, it is what it is.

"We have families and we have to make sure that we give our best opportunity while we have one career. It`s not like I can start over again. I`m 34 and I want to win another World Cup -- or two more -- for West Indies because at the end of the day, I`m here now, and I`m just taking it day by day," he added. Russell has played 67 T20Is and has been a part of West Indies` successful T20 World Cup-winning teams as a two-time winner of the trophy in 2012 and 2016.
