West Indies' Alzarri Joseph Receives Two-Game Suspension for Misconduct

Barbados-Born Pacer Sanctioned Following Breach of ICC Code of Conduct

Joseph's Aggressive Celebrations During Match Against England Result in Ban

In a recent development, West Indian fast bowler Alzarri Joseph has been handed a two-match ban for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during his team's victory over England in the ongoing three-match Test series.

The incident occurred on the fourth day of the second Test in Grenada, where Joseph was found guilty of "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match."

According to the ICC, Joseph's misconduct occurred after he dismissed England batter Jonny Bairstow. The Barbadian pacer's aggressive celebration was deemed to be in violation of Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct.

As a result of his actions, Joseph has been suspended for the remaining two matches of the series against England. He will miss the third Test in Grenada and the final Test in Barbados.

The suspension is a significant setback for the West Indies, who are looking to level the series after losing the first Test in Antigua. Joseph has been one of the team's most impressive performers in recent times, taking 16 wickets in the last three Tests.

The ICC has a strict policy against misconduct on the field, and Joseph's suspension serves as a reminder to players of the importance of maintaining appropriate behavior during matches.
