Windies’ Joseph returns from suspension but Russell to miss third T20 against England

West Indies fast bowler Alzarri Joseph returns for the third Twenty20 International against England after being suspended for two matches but all-rounder Andre Russell will miss Thursday’s match with an ankle injury.

Joseph was suspended for storming off the field following an altercation with captain Shai Hope in the third One Day-International match against England in Bridgetown.

Versatile Shamar Springer is in the squad instead of Russell, who missed the second match.

The remaining three T20s are all played in Saint Lucia.
