Sun Nov 10 01:04:42 UTC 2024: ## West Indies Coach Slams Alzarri Joseph for Walking Off Field During Match
**London, UK:** West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph has been heavily criticized by coach Darren Sammy after he stormed off the field during the third ODI against England. Sammy expressed his disappointment in a post-match interview, stating that such behavior is unacceptable in the sport.
The incident occurred in the fourth over of England’s innings when Joseph took exception to the field placement set by captain Shai Hope. Annoyed by the strategy, Joseph left the field, leaving West Indies to field with just 10 players. He rejoined the team in the sixth over but did not bowl until the 12th over.
Despite contributing two wickets for 45 runs in 10 overs, Sammy made it clear that such behavior would not be tolerated. “This is not acceptable on a cricket field,” said Sammy. “We all have to be friends. I am trying to create that environment.”
Sammy further emphasized the importance of addressing the issue directly with Joseph. “I am proud of myself for standing up,” he said. “But I have to speak to him in a way that he understands.”
This incident comes as a blow to the West Indies team, who are already facing challenges in the ongoing series against England. The team is expected to address the issue further with Joseph and ensure a positive team dynamic for the upcoming matches.
