Alzarri Joseph Suspended After On-Field Dispute

West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph has been suspended for two matches following an incident during the third ODI against England, where he left the field twice without permission after a disagreement with captain Shai Hope over field placement. Joseph's actions were deemed to fall short of Cricket West Indies' standards of professionalism and integrity, resulting in his suspension. He publicly apologized to Hope, his teammates, management, and fans, acknowledging that his passion got the best of him and expressing regret for any disappointment caused. CWI Director of Cricket, Miles Bascombe, emphasized that Joseph's behavior was inconsistent with the core values of the organization and could not be ignored. Despite the incident, West Indies won the match and clinched the series against England.
