World Test Championship: West Indies veteran all-rounder Andre Russell opined that most of the Caribbean players are "just not interested in playing Tests" and it is not related to money.
With the influx of T20 franchise cricket around the world, Russell feels that red-ball cricket has lost its charm to attract youngsters towards it. Last year, senior players including Jason Holder, Nicholas Pooran and Kyle Mayers turned down West Indies central contracts but made themselves available for T20Is. Although, Holder has played in Tests also.
Russell, who played just one Test in his career, revealed that money is not the concern for turning down the Test opportunity.
