West Indian fast bowler Alzarri Joseph has dramatically stormed off the field during a one day international against England.
Joseph was in a heated discussion with his captain Shai Hope in the lead up to him walking off the field.
The drama happened in the fourth over of England’s innings, after Hope won the toss for the West Indies and elected to field at Kensington Oval in Barbados.
With England struggling at 1-10, Joseph and Hope were in deep discussion, presumably about field placements.
After bowling the first ball of the over, played to point by England batter Jordan Cox, Joseph was again animated with his captain.
Three balls later Joseph dismissed Cox with a sharp bouncer which flicked the batter’s glove and caught by Hope.
Joseph didn’t bother celebrating and went straight back to his mark, the stormed off at the end of the over.
West Indies coach Darren Sammy was seen trying to calm down his fast bowler, who emerged back onto the field shortly after.
Joseph completed all 10 overs, returning figures of 2-45 as England amassed 8-263 from their 50 overs.
Former England Test player Mark Butcher was doing commentary in Barbados, was not pleased with the actions of Joseph.
“Many is the time, as a captain or as a player, that you have a disagreement about something on the field,” Butcher said.
“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.”
