Alzarri Joseph clashes with captain Shai Hope, shockingly leaves field in anger despite bowling a wicket-maiden
The West Indies vs England ODI match was marked by a peculiar incident involving fast bowler Alzarri Joseph, who abruptly left the pitch following a disagreement with captain Shai Hope. This unexpected turn of events has caused a stir in the cricket community, with reactions pouring in from all corners.
Joseph was brought in to bowl the fourth over with England at 10-1. A discussion between Joseph and Hope regarding field placement ensued, leading to visible frustration from the West Indies fast bowler after a shot by Jordan Cox. Despite dismissing Cox with a remarkable delivery that flicked his gloves before reaching the wicketkeeper, Joseph's dissatisfaction was evident as he left the field without consulting the Windies skipper.
Coach Darren Sammy attempted to pacify Joseph off the field, but the player remained resolute in his decision to sit in the dugout. Substitute Hayden Walsh Jr was poised to enter the field, only for Joseph to re-emerge and resume play after a brief stint on the sidelines.
