Tensions were visible in the West Indies Camp after skipper Shai Hope and pacer Alzarri Joseph were seen at odds during the match. The fourth over of the 3rd ODI match between West Indies and England, saw Alzarri Joseph upset with WI skipper Shai Hope. The pacer expressed his frustration with the slip fielders’ placement after his first delivery went off to point. He was then seen interacting towards Hope over the setup, and the exchange went for quite a while and Alzarri’s anger was evidently visible early in the innings. Eventually, he made his way out of the play after having a heated exchange, and West Indies were left with ten players for an over until he returned to the field.

Alzarri Joseph’s Antics During 3rd ODI vs ENG Leave Darren Sammy and Shai Hope Divided

West Indies skipper Shai Hope was asked about the heated on-field incident involving pacer Alzarri Joseph, and he avoided offering a comment on the scenario. However, he did mention that fights happen when the players are challenged, and the skipper was happy with the team’s overall performance in the post-match presentation ceremony.

“No comments! In a situation like that, you have to understand that such things can happen. It shows that we always fight when we are challenged. The importance of doing things off the field translates onto the field. Really happy with the way our batting unit performed and the bowlers also did really well,” Hope said after the match.

However, while speaking to TalkSPORT after the 3rd ODI, head coach Darren Sammy was unhappy with what transpired during the play, saying that it was unacceptable and they would have a chat regarding the scenario.

“Behaviour like that is unacceptable on my cricket field. We will be friends…but in the culture I’m trying to build, that’s unacceptable. We will definitely have a chat about that,” Darren Sammy said

Despite the tussle, West Indies went on to win the match after they defeated England and sealed a 2-1 series win over the visiting Three Lions. While Phil Salt gave England a blazing start, England went on to lose momentum as they managed to score 263/8 on the scoreboard in the first innings.
