Windies' Joseph back from suspension but Russell to miss third T20 v England
· CNA · JoinWest Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph returns for the third Twenty20 International against England after serving a two-match suspension but all-rounder Andre Russell will miss Thursday's match with an ankle injury.
Joseph was suspended for storming off the field after a row with captain Shai Hope during the third One Day-International against England in Bridgetown.
"Alzarri Joseph, having completed his two-match suspension, will rejoin the squad in Saint Lucia for the crucial final leg of the series, replacing Shamar Joseph," Cricket West Indies (CWI) said in a statement.
West Indies won the ODI series 2-1 but lost the first two matches in the five-match T20 series against Jos Buttler's team.
The hosts will again be without experienced all-rounder Russell, who sustained a left ankle sprain during the opening T20 in Barbados on Saturday.
Russell, who missed the second match, is replaced by all-rounder Shamar Springer in the squad.
All three remaining T20s are being played in Saint Lucia.
