In a rare incident, West Indies pacer Alzaari Joseph was caught leaving the field after having a disagreement with captain Shai Hope during their third ODI against England on Wednesday at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. The incident unfolded during the fourth over of England innings. Having conceded just two runs in his first over, Joseph was brought for his second.
After bowling the first ball to Jordan Cox, Joseph seemed unhappy with the field placements and was caught saying something animatedly to Hope, probably about the positioning of slip fielders, while standing at the end of followthrough.
With England reeling at 10/1 at that time, Joseph fired another salvo three balls later when he had Cox out off a short-of-a-length delivery, caught by Hope behind the wickets. Despite the wicket of Cox, the 27-year-old hardly celebrated and fumed as he still argued with Hope.
