While a lot of teams refrain from using young players (especially debutants) at the mega-event of cricket, West Indies took a bold step and handed Andre Russell his maiden ODI cap during the 2011 World Cup. The inexperienced Russell made his ODI debut versus Ireland and had a good outing as he dismissed Ed Joyce in that match.

The dismissal turned the game in West Indies' favor as they won the game by 46 runs. Russell even played the match against India at Chennai where he took the wickets of Harbhajan Singh and Munaf Patel. While chasing in the second innings, Russell lost his wicket for a duck.

However, Russell would have never known that eight years later, he would be entering the cricket World Cup as the biggest asset of his team.
