Alzarri Joseph’s talent was first recognised by the entire world when he performed well in the U-19 World Cup in 2016.
The pacer was the joint third highest wicket-taker in the competition with 13 scalps at an average of 13.76 and an economy rate of 3.31. Joseph was also part of the U-19 World Cup winning team in the same year.
Former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop had said that Joseph should be fast-tracked to Test cricket at that time. In the World Cup, Joseph set the record for the fastest ball of the competition with 143 kph against Zimbabwe.
The fast bowler made his first-class debut in November 2014 and made his mark against Windward Islands with a seven-wicket haul in the following year.
Joseph, then went on to make his Test debut against India in August 2016 as a 19-year-old and made his ODI debut against Pakistan in October 2016.
Joseph is yet to pick up a five-wicket haul in Tests, but he recorded his best ODI figures of 5/56 against England in 2017.
In 2019 IPL on his debut playing for Mumbai Indians against Sunrisers Hyderabad he picket 6/12(3.4 Overs on Saturday April 06,2019
