West Indies head coach Daren Sammy has openly criticized fast bowler Alzarri Joseph's conduct during the third ODI against England in Bridgetown, calling it "unacceptable." Joseph’s behavior, which included walking off the field without notice after a disagreement with captain Shai Hope, marred the West Indies’ series-clinching victory.
The incident occurred in the fourth over, when Joseph showed visible frustration over a field placement set by Hope. Even after taking the wicket of Jordan Cox caught behind, Joseph did not celebrate with his teammates and quietly returned to his bowling mark. At the end of the over, Joseph unexpectedly left the field, leaving West Indies a player short for the start of the fifth over. The abrupt exit confused both his teammates and spectators.
