Shamar Joseph, the pace wonder from the West Indies, set the stage ablaze with his recent displays for the team. The 24-year-old recently led the West Indies to a historic victory away from home against Australia thanks to an outstanding effort.
Joseph came from modest beginnings, just like many others, even though he was growing closer to the summit of the mountain. Joseph recently spoke about his childhood hamlet in an interview.
Raised in the Guyanese village of Baracara, the child spoke about his family’s and the locals’ gatherings to play cricket, where they would use everything they could find as balls.
We began playing cricket in what we refer to as the bush. We utilised lemons and limes, as well as everything rounded. We used to take the same bumper ball and push it inside the cream cup in order to get good compression. In a previous interview with SkySports, Shamar Joseph stated, “We used to play with tape balls, insulation tape.”
“We were a group of young guys at our school by ourselves because we already had a team with my five other siblings. We would play together while other young men from the village would join us. We occasionally start at seven in the morning and finish at four in the afternoon,” he continued.
For him, I would want to sabotage that farewell: Shamar Joseph
It is noteworthy that the West Indies and England are scheduled to play a Test series, with the first match scheduled to take place at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on July 10. Shamar Joseph wants to spoil the farewell celebration for veteran pacer James Anderson, for whom this match would be the last.
He is a really talented player. someone who has inspired me. Someone exceptionally skilled at this level. Given his high number of wickets at this level, one could argue he is flawless. Undoubtedly, I would like to destroy that departure for him,” India Today cited Joseph as stating.
