The Cricket West Indies (CWI) has imposed a two-match ban on Alzarri Joseph following his on-field dispute with Captain Shai Hope. During the third ODI match against England, Joseph was seen having an argument with his captain and later walking off the field after Jordan Cox’s dismissal. 

On 8th November, the Cricket West Indies releases a statement, notifying his 2-game ban. The decision was taken with the advice of other senior team coaching staff. 

The statement affirmed, “Cricket West Indies (CWI) has imposed a two-match suspension on fast bowler Alzarri Joseph following an on-field incident during the 3rd CG United ODI at the Kensington Oval, Barbados. As part of CWI’s ongoing commitment to upholding the highest levels of professionalism and integrity in the game, the incident, which involved conduct falling short of CWI’s standards of professionalism, was reviewed in consultation with the senior men's coaching staff.”

Joseph reasoned his side by saying that the incidents occurred because this passion got the best of him. He personally apologised to the captain as well as the management. 

He stated, "I recognize that my passion got the best of me,”. 

“I have personally apologised to Captain Shai Hope, my teammates, and management. I also extend my sincerest apologies to the West Indies fans—I understand that even a brief lapse in judgement can have a far-reaching impact, and I deeply regret any disappointment caused.”

The ban denotes that he could not appear against England for the first two matches of the upcoming T20I series. The series is scheduled to begin from 9th November, Saturday.
