In a video message, the T20 star expressed his dissatisfaction after missing the match. He also said that his side has the capability to win the title.
"My final game tonight rained out. I was really looking forward to doing what Dre Russ does- entertain, have a good game, have a good send-off. Actually it didn't happen because of the rain. But I wish everyone the very very best moving forward. We definitely have a team to win this cup," Russell said in a video message.
"And for all the Minister Dhaka fans out there, keep supporting and I will definitely be tuning in from Dallas. Sad that I have to go this early, I have some fitness stuff to get done. But it was fun, I really enjoyed the guys, a good bunch of players. They definitely have what it takes to win this cup. So, I wish them all the best," he added.
Russell scored 61 runs in five innings and took eight wickets in six innings at an economy rate of 9.42 in this year's BPL.
