IND vs WI: Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph, two of the West Indies cricket team’s best players, decided to leave the current ODI World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe early to begin their training for the upcoming series against India.
The announcement of this declaration aligns with the West Indies squad’s effort to reclaim their form and present a formidable challenge to the strong Indian team.
Holder, who is known for his excellent all-around skills, and Alzarri Joseph, an emerging fast bowler, have been a crucial part of the West Indies bowling attack in all formats.
The schedules that await them against India, which consists of 2 Tests, 3 ODIs, and 5 T20s, is the primary reason for their early departure from Zimbabwe.
“The upcoming series against India, starting with the ICC World Test Championship, followed by the ODIs and T20Is, presents a hectic schedule for us. Considering this, it was decided through dialogue that having our leading bowlers back early would be the best move at this time,” stated Haynes.
Holder & Joseph’s return greatly bolster the Caribbeans during IND vs WI series
During his stint at the ICC World Cup 2023 Qualifier in Zimbabwe, Holder showed his abilities with both the bat and the ball. Also, Joseph, who had taken eight wickets in five matches, emerged as the West Indies’ finest bowler.
Holder and Joseph are vital bowlers in all formats, says the West Indies team head selector Desmond Haynes. Haynes voiced the team’s agreement that having the two players return early was in their best interest as they needed to manage their workload appropriately.
Holder and Joseph’s quick comeback is expected to greatly strengthen West Indies’ lineup as they prepare for the difficult series against India. For them to put up a formidable challenge against the Indian squad, the team will make use of the talents and perseverance of both players.
West Indies will be desperate to turn the tables and show their real potential on the field despite recent disappointing performances.
