West Indies pace sensation Shamar Joseph, who without any help won a Test against Australia last month, was on Saturday roped in by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for the impending IPL season as a substitution for Britain’s Imprint Wood. The 24-year-old Joseph obliterated the elegant Australian batting line-up in their second innings with astonishing figures of 7 for 68 to assist the West Indies with scoring up a popular win at Gabba, Brisbane, last month to emerge as quite possibly the most pursued quick bowler on the planet.

He will join LSG for RS 3 crore and this will be Joseph’s most memorable spell in the IPL.

“Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) named Shamar Joseph as a substitute for pacer Imprint Wood for the impending release of the Goodbye Indian Head Association (IPL) 2024,” the IPL said in a proclamation.

“Joseph will join LSG for INR 3 Crore. The speedster was as of late at the very front during West Indies’ Test succeed at the Gabba. He picked 7 wickets in the second innings to prearrange a memorable success in Australia for West Indies.” The improvement could imply that Wood won’t be accessible for the IPL 2024, however the explanation isn’t known. He is presently with the Britain group which is visiting India for a five-match Test series.
