A dramatic scene took place in the recently-concluded third ODI between West Indies and England at Kensington Oval, Barbados, as Caribbean pacer Alzarri Joseph surprisingly exited the field mid-game after a disagreement with captain Shai Hope. The incident happened during England’s batting, immediately following Joseph’s second over, in which he cl??aimed a wicket.

Alzarri Joseph engages in dispute with skipper Shai Hope

The confrontation began after Joseph’s first ball of the over, when he engaged in a prolonged conversation regarding field placement with captain Hope. Joseph appeared visibly unhappy, particularly pointing towards the slips with a clear expression of frustration. Nonetheless, he continued to bowl and delivered a 148.2 kph short delivery that led to Jordan Cox‘s dismissal, who gloved it to the wicketkeeper. Rather than celebrating the wicket, Joseph walked off, leaving the field without interacting with Hope.

Darren Sammy steps in to diffuse situation

Once off the field, West Indies coach Darren Sammy attempted to calm Joseph, who refused to yield and took a seat in the dugout. After a short period, Joseph rejoined the game but only re??sumed bowling?? during the 12th over.

Commentary highlights on-field tensions

Former England player Mark Butcher, sharing his thoughts on the incident while commentating, observed that on-field disagreements are common but generally dealt with in private or by concentrating on one’s job. He emphasized that if a captain sets a specific fielding arrangement, it’s the bowler’s duty to follow it, highlighting the importance of teamwork and respect for the captain’s leadership in cricket.

“Many is the time, as a captain or as a player, that you have a disagreement about something on the field. But you work that out either behind closed doors, or you get on with your job. Your captain asks you to bowl to a field, you bowl to it,” said Butcher during commentary.

West Indies secure comfortable victory

Meanwhile, Joseph concluded the match with figures of 2 for 45 from his 10 overs. England managed a total of 263/8 in their allotted 50 overs, but the West Indies comfortably chased down the target. With strong performances by Keacy Carty (128 no) and Brandon King (102), they sealed an eight-wicket win with 42 balls to spare,?? claiming the series victory.

West Indies cricket have released the squads for their upcoming T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka??, starting on October 13. With some major players opting out, the team will feature ??several uncapped players eager to make their mark.

Key players missing from the squad

The West Indies squad will be missing several of their star players, including Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Akeal Hosein, and Shimron Hetmyer. These players have opted out of the Sri Lanka tour due to a need for rest or rehabilitation from injuries. Head coach Darren Sammy expressed confidence in the squad’s depth, suggesting that the absence of experienced players presents an opportunity for emerging talent to step up.

“The Sri Lanka series gives us a great chance to explore our bench strength and evaluate players in varied roles, especially with a number of senior players unavailable due to the need for rest and recovery from injuries. We are confident that our squad will compete well against Sri Lanka,” Sammy stated as quoted by windiescricket.com.

Fresh faces earn call-ups

Terrance Hinds and Shamar Springer are among the new faces in the T20I squad, thanks to their strong performances in the 2024 Caribbean Premier League (CPL). Hinds, a right-arm fast bowler, claimed eight wickets across as many matches at an average of ??30.43. Springer, another right-arm pacer, impressed by ??taking 12 wickets in nine matches at an average of 18.

Jewel Andrew, a 17-year-old wicketkeeper-batter, has been named in the ODI squad after showing promise in domestic cricket. With only thr??ee List A matches under his belt, Andrew has already scored 165 runs at an average of 55, making him an exciting prospect for the future.

T20I Squad: Rovman Powell (c), Roston Chase (vc), Fabian Allen, Alick Athanaze, Andre Fletcher, Terrance Hinds, Alzarri Joseph, Shai Hope, Shamar Josep??h, Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Gudakesh Motie, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Shamar Springer.

Darren Sammy, the esteemed two-time T20 World Cup-winning captain, renowned for leading the West Indies to titles in 2012 and 2016, ??has shared his insights regarding the potential winner for the upcoming 2024 edition of the T20 World Cup.

Historic tournament in the West Indies and USA

The highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 is set to unfold in the West Indies and the United States of America (USA) throughout the month of June. This edition is poised to be historic, marking the first time in any ICC tournament that 20 teams will compet??e for cricketing glory.

Darren Sammy’s forecast for the winner of T20 World Cup 2024

Expressing his thoughts ahead of the 1st T20I against Australia, Sammy believed that the West Indies holds the potential to emerge as champions, aiming to secure the trophy on home soil – a feat that would make them the first team to achieve such a triumph in their home conditions. In addition to his illustrious playing career, Sammy currently serving as West Indies’ white-ball coach. He reflected on the team’s impressive T20I series victories last year, highlighting the momentum they have as they approach the T20I series against Australia.

“The way we’ve progressed over the last year; we didn’t lose a T20 series in 2023, confidence is building, momentum is building. We all believe that we can become the first team to actually win the tournament at home and that’s what we are working towards,” Sammy was quoted as sayi?ng by the cricket.com.au.

Emphasis on T20 franchise league experience

Sammy further underscored the significance of players having ample experience in T20 franchise leagues worldwide. This experience, he believes, contributes to the team’s preparation and enhances their capabilities as they gear up for the challenging T20 World Cup campaign.

“Our guys will not be playing international cricket, but they will not be short of cricket. So many leagues, (they) play in the IPL (Indian Premier League), the PSL (Pakistan Super League), and obviously playing (the World Cup) at home, it’s our conditions,” the 40-year-old concluded.

Former New Zealand cricketer Grant Elliott is best known for his sumptuous inn?ings against South Afr?ica in the semi-final of 2015 ICC World Cup.

The former Kiwi all-rounder took his team to ?the final of the tournament, with his resilient knock under pressure.

On the other hand, Darren Sammy is a two?-time ICC T2??0 World Cup-winning skipper for West Indies.

Both Elliott and Sammy recently got engaged in a funny banter as the former posted a? p?icture of a 73-overs old cricket ball on Twitter.

“When the captain hands you the ball in the 73rd over with the score at 320/1 and says ‘Come on mate, your turn. Let’s get that break through. This is your chance to prove yourself’,” Elliott captioned the picture.

Sammy hinted that an adept bowler can still prove his worth by bringing ‘reverse swing’ into play with the weary, worn-out ball.

The Kiwi star, however, reminded that the art of ‘reverse swing’ is not really effective for medium-pacers like himself and Sammy.

The former Windies skipper, t??hen, hilariously replied that? he would fake an injury to bail himself.

“I would fake a hamstring injury,” replied Sammy.

Sammy and Elliott were teammates in CPL

Sammy and Elliott shared the same dressing room in 2016 while plying their trades for St Lucia Zouks (SLZ) in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). The Kiwi all-rounder was roped in as a repla?cement for Eddie Leie.

Elliott h??as played 5 Tests, 83 ODIs and 17 T20Is for New Zealand before announcing his retirement in?? 2018.

Meanwhile, Sammy played his last T20I of the international career against Pakistan in 2017. He led his home club, the Zouks, to the final of the CPL 2020, where they lost to Kieron Pollard’s Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR).

After 23 days of riveting action, the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2020 has r??eached its climax. It is only fair to say that the two best sides in the competition have r?eached the final of CPL 2020.

Undefeated Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) will be at loggerheads with challengers, St Lucia Zouks (SLZ), at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad on Thursday, September 10.

Both teams are coming off thumping wins in the one-sided contests of semi-finals, where they knocked out Jamaica Tallawahs (JT) and Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW), comprehensively.

TKR vs SLZ, Probable XI:

Trinbago Knight Riders:

The TKR will be high on confidence after defeating the Zouks twice in the round-robin stage. They will bring forth their big guns for ??the all-important final.

Probable XI:

Lendl Simmons, Sunil Narine, Tion Webster, Tim Seifert (wk), Darren Bravo, Kieron?? Pollard (c), Dwayne Bravo, Akeal Hosein, Khary Pierre, Fawad Ahmed, Ali Khan.

St Lucia Zouks:

TKR can only neglect the threat of Zouks at their own peril. The Darren Sammy-led side has been unpredictable in the tournament?, especially during close games??.

Zouks would look to seek revenge of their two losses in the league stages. They would be charged up after bundling out the Warriors for the second??-lowest total in CPL histo??ry.

St Lucia Zouks (SLZ) will take on fourth-placed Jamaica Tallawahs (JT) in the 30th match of the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2020 at Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad. ??This is also going to be the last match of the round-robin phase.

Zouks had lost their last game against Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) on Saturday, August 05. A vic??tory against Tallawahs would help them finish second in the points table.

On the other hand, the Rovman Powell-led side has also qualified for the playoffs, despite winning only three out of their nine encounters. They are all set to clash?? with TKR in the semi-finals, irrespective of the result in? this match.

SLZ vs JT, Probable XI:

St Lucia Zouks

Zouks will be desperate to regain the momentum ahead of the business end of the tournament. Kimani Melius is likely to make way for Rahkeem Cornwall,?? who was rested for the last match against Knight Riders.

The fast-bowling duo of Kesrick Williams and Scott Kuggeleijn was a bit too expensive in the last match. They would be aiming to retrieve the rhythm before the semi-final clash against Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) on Tuesday (September 08).

Probable XI: Rahkeem Cornwall, Mark Deyal, Andre Fletcher (wk), Leniko Boucher, Najibullah Zadran, Roston Chase, Mohammad Nabi, Darren Sammy (c), Scott Kuggeleijn, Kesrick Williams and Zah??ir Khan.

Jamaica Tallawahs.

JT has blown hot and cold this season. They lost their last match against Barbados Tridents (BT) despite putting a challenging total of 161/4. Jermaine Blackwood scored a fiery 74 at the top while Andre Russell, as usual, came up with yet another ?cameo and made 54 off 28 deliveries.

Tallawahs’ fast bowlers had let them down on multiple occasions. The spin duo of Mujeeb ur Rahman and Sandeep Lamichchane will play a crucial role against Zouks

Probable XI: Glenn Philips (wk), Jermaine Blackwood, Nkrumah Bonner, Rovman Powell (c), Asif Ali, Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Veerasammy Permaul, Sandeep Lamichcha??ne, and Oshane Thomas.

Pitch and weather report:

As per the weather forecast, rain? is likely to interrupt the ??proceedings which might bring DLS into the play.

With a bit of moisture expected due to rain, fast-bowlers will get a little help in the early stage of the game. Overall, Spinners?? will dominate the proceedings.

The 24th game of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2020) will witness a standoff between the second and the third-placed teams in the points table, namely St Lucia Zouks (SLZ) and Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW).

After a disappointing start to their campaign, the GAW came back strongly by registering a few crucial wins. Whereas, the Zouks have been the second-best side in the tournament after Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR).

The encounter between SLZ and GAW is all set ?to be a riveting one. The Warriors would seek revenge for the 10-run loss in the reverse fixture.

SLZ vs GAW, Probable XI:

St Lucia Zouks:

Zouks have somehow found a way to win games from precariously placed situations. Their last game against Barbados Tridents (BT) is a prime example of the never-say-die attitude in the team.

The Darren Sammy-led side became the second team to qualify for the semi-finals. SLZ would look to extend their dominan??ce over the Warriors.

Probable XI:

Rahkeem Cornwall, Andre Fletcher (wk), Leniko Boucher, Roston Chase, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Javelle Glenn, Daren Sammy (c), Scott Kuggeleijn, Kesrick Williams, ??Zahir Khan.

Guyana Amazon Warriors:

Warriors would be determined to continue with their winning form, eyeing the ??spot for the semi-finals.

The Chris Green-led side has won four and lost as many games in the tournament, thus far. Both GAW and SLZ are coming off thumping wins over the Tridents.

Probable XI:

Brandon King, Kevin Sinclair, Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Ross Taylor, Keemo Paul, Chris Green (c), Romario Shepherd, Naveen-ul-Haq??, Kissoondath Magram, Imran Tahir,
