Af­ter spend­ing near­ly a year on the side­lines with in­jury, West In­dies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph says he is ea­ger to re­turn to in­ter­na­tion­al crick­et and help lift the re­gion­al team to greater heights.

Joseph, 29, is cur­rent­ly par­tic­i­pat­ing in Crick­et West In­dies’ high-per­for­mance white-ball camp at Coolidge Crick­et Ground in An­tigua as he works his way back in­to con­tention for the up­com­ing lim­it­ed-overs se­ries against Sri Lan­ka.

The An­tiguan pac­er was ruled out of com­pet­i­tive crick­et for the lat­ter part of 2025 due to a low­er back in­jury and missed the 2026 T20 World Cup in In­dia and Sri Lan­ka. Speak­ing af­ter re­join­ing the squad, Joseph ad­mit­ted the re­ha­bil­i­ta­tion pe­ri­od was men­tal­ly chal­leng­ing.
