West Indies fast bowler Shamar Joseph, the hero of their recent Test victory against Australia, has been ruled out of the ongoing ILT20 due to a toe injury. The injury, picked up during the Gabba Test against Australia, forced him to withdraw from his stint with the Dubai Capitals.

While scans did not reveal a fracture, the impact still requires recovery, preventing him from participating in the T20 league. However, this is a minor setback compared to his heroics in Brisbane, where he battled through pain to take a match-winning 7-wicket haul and secure West Indies' first Test win in Australia since 1997.

Joseph's focus will now shift to the Pakistan Super League (PSL), where he has already signed with Peshawar Zalmi as a partial replacement for injured England bowler Gus Atkinson. This could potentially evolve into a longer stint, considering his current recovery timeline.

While his absence will be felt by the Dubai Capitals, it's crucial to prioritize his long-term fitness and allow him to recover properly. With the PSL around the corner, fans can still look forward to seeing Joseph unleash his pace and hopefully add more chapters to his remarkable cricketing story.
