Alzarri Joseph of the Windies has been suspended

Fast bowler Alzarri Joseph has received a two-match suspension from Cricket West Indies following a highly publicized dispute with captain Shai Hope regarding field placements during a one-day international match against England. This incident occurred during a match on Wednesday, in which the West Indies emerged victorious by eight wickets, thereby securing the series. During the match, while the West Indies were bowling, Joseph expressed his discontent with the field arrangement set by Hope, leading to a notable protest as he left the field during one of his overs. The disagreement escalated into a prolonged argument between Joseph and Hope prior to the fourth over, necessitating intervention from the umpires to encourage the players to continue the game. Following a delivery that was played to the off side, Joseph confronted Hope in an agitated manner, and after completing the over, he exited the field, only to return after a brief intermission.
