Shamar Joseph picks up 7 wickets bowling with an injured toe to help west indies beat Australia by 8 runs. Wonderful feeling to be west indian this morning. Congrats to the team. You guys defied the odds and won in Australia for the first since 1997
West Indies fast bowler Shamar Joseph has joined Lucknow Super Giants to replace England quick Mark Wood. He will join Super Giants for INR 3 crore, an IPL statement on Saturday said.
INR 3 core is approximately US$361, 381 which is equivalent to approximately G$ 72,276,200.
Guyanese fast bowler Shamar Joseph has been voted the ICC Menโs Player-of-the-Month for January 2024.
Not many players have made a more impressive start to their international career than Joseph, with the West Indies quick rising from relative obscurity to the cusp of stardom after just two matches.
Josephโs introduction to international cricket was so eye-catching, that the right-armer beat out strong opposition from England batter Ollie Pope and Australia seamer Josh Hazlewood to claim the first menโs monthly award for the new calendar year.
It didnโt take long for Joseph to make his mark on debut in the first Test against Australia as the 24-year-old revived memories of West Indies quicks of yesteryear when he claimed the prized wicket of the worldโs number two ranked batter Steve Smith with his very first delivery.
