Alzarri Joseph's absence comes as a huge blow for the Caribbean side, with the 29-year-old having featured in both Tests against Sri Lanka earlier this summer before also playing a key role in the ODI series against New Zealand. His decision means West Indies will head into the Pakistan series without one of their premier fast bowlers.
Alzarri Joseph was part of West Indies' recent Test assignment against Sri Lanka, where he claimed six wickets across two matches. He then switched to white-ball cricket and impressed in the ODI series against New Zealand, producing match-winning figures of 4/41 in the opening game.
The selectors have also rewarded Joshua Bishop with his maiden Test call-up after his impressive domestic performances, while Kirk McKenzie returns to the Test squad for the first time since 2024. The series is crucial for both teams, with West Indies and Pakistan currently occupying the bottom places in the World Test Championship standings.
"Yeah, it is a big loss. Mr Joseph has declined selection" - Daren Sammy
"Yeah, it is a big loss. Mr Joseph has declined selection. That's the reality of the situation. He was selected. I mean, he's now coming from injury. And for reasons since, he has declined the selection."
"That is a decision that is way over my head. I leave that with the directors to come up with whatever solutions where contracted players get to decline selection."
"We know we have the bowling line-up to take 20 wickets and help us win Test matches" - Daren Sammy
"What I could tell you [is that] we have a bowling line-up that we've seen that could take 20 wickets. That's the first start to winning Test matches. We saw it in New Zealand. We saw it in the Australia series. We matched Australia with the ball. We matched New Zealand with the ball as well. And the confidence and the work that the batters have put in, you could see it bearing fruit in the Test series against Sri Lanka. You know, much more consistency coming through."
"So once we match these two, batsmen scoring runs, we know we have the bowling line-up to take 20 wickets and help us win Test matches."
