West Indies’ build up to the second Test against Pakistan at Queen’s Park Oval, has been dominated by an increasingly public difference of opinions between fast bowler Alzarri Joseph and head coach Daren Sammy.

The regional side heads into the game which bowls off on Sunday, with a rare chance for a Test series sweep, after winning the opening match at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy by 90 runs.

Joseph has played no part in the series with Sammy, who also serves as the team’s head selector, stating that the Antiguan had “declined selection and was unavailable due to personal reasons.”
