WI Vs ENG: Alzarri Joseph Faces Two-Match Suspension Due To THIS Reason

Seamer Alzarri Joseph has been suspended for two matches following his "unacceptable" behaviour on field during the third ODI gainst England.

West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph has been suspended for two matches for an unauthorized exit from the field at Bridgetown in the third ODI against England, reportedly over a spat with his captain Shai Hope. He could be seen arguing with Hope in the fourth over of England’s innings, though it appears he was upset with where he had been placed in the field. He was the last wicket of Jordan Cox off the fourth ball, and after that, he left his team and returned back to his mark without joining their celebration.

Joseph then walked off the field at the end of the over without stating anything, leaving West Indies only with ten fielders at the beginning of the fifth over. He came back in the sixth over but did not bowl again until the 12th. Having bowled a few overs, Joseph left the field for the second time for two misfields which led to overthrows and extra runs for England. He later returned to bowl through the middle overs, eventually completing his 10 overs and being left with figures of 2 for 45, having dismissed both Cox and Dan Mousley.
