Russell says more than money behind West Indies stars' Test absence

England's lopsided 3-0 Test series rout of the once dominant West Indies completed earlier this month took place when several current Caribbean star performers were preparing for lucrative stints in English domestic cricket's Hundred competition. All-rounder Russell is one of five West Indian players in the maximum £125,000 ($160,000) bracket for this year's edition, joining Spirit team-mate Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran at Northern Superchargers, Rovman Powell at Trent Rockets and Kieron Pollard at Southern Brave.
