Alzarri Joseph nearing return to action

Alzarri Joseph

Promising Windies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph has reportedly responded well to his rehabilitation programme for a stress fracture in his back and is now working on changes that will hopefully ensure there is no recurrence of the injury.

The Antiguan quick was forced to withdraw from the Windies’ New Zealand tour in December 2017. It was reported in February that he was diagnosed with a stress fracture and would have to undergo a six-week rehabilitation programme.

On Wednesday, Windies bowling coach Roddy Estwick provided some insight about what was happening with the now 21-year-old Joseph.
