BRIDGETOWN (Web Desk) - In a dramatic moment during the third ODI between England and West Indies, fast bowler Alzarri Joseph walked off the field after a heated argument with his captain, Shai Hope, over field placements.
The incident occurred after West Indies won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Joseph and Matthew Ford opened the bowling for West Indies, and the team got an early breakthrough.
However, tensions flared when Joseph and captain Hope had a lengthy discussion in the next over.
Despite Hope adjusting the field by placing two slips for Joseph, the bowler appeared visibly frustrated.
Joseph's frustration peaked after he took the wicket of England’s Ollie Cox with a brilliant delivery clocked at 90 mph.
Despite the breakthrough, Joseph remained disappointed, and his mood did not improve even after the wicket.
He was seen talking to coach Darren Sammy near the boundary, who appeared to calm him down.
After a brief period of cooling down, Joseph left the field, and his place was temporarily taken by Hayden Walsh Jr.
However, after regaining his composure, Joseph returned to the field and finished his 10-over spell with figures of 45 runs and 2 wickets, contributing to West Indies' 8-wicket victory.
The match itself saw West Indies comfortably defeat England by 8 wickets, but the on-field drama between Joseph and Hope added an unexpected twist to the encounter.
