Andre Russell cleared to play in World T20

West Indies have received a boost prior to their World Twenty20 campaign after Andre Russell was cleared to play in the tournament with the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission clearing the all-rounder for the time being, saying they would not suspend him with a hearing pending into his "anti-doping whereabouts" violation.

Russell missed three doping tests within a 12-month span, which equates to failing a dope test, and faces the possibility of a 24-month suspension from cricket if found guilty.
