CPL 2016: 5 young West Indians to watch out for

#1 Alzarri Joseph

Alzarri Joseph might bring back the exalted tradition of West Indies pace bowling

For a region which was obsessed with quick and hostile bowling, West Indies have been unable to maintain their legacy in recent times. But, Alzarri Joseph could just be the man to turn back the clock.

Capable of delivering seething spells, the lanky pacer adds enormous value to St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. From eight first-class matches, he has taken 24 wickets with two five-wicket hauls.

Even though skipper Faf du Plessis has got numerous seam bowling options in Carlos Brathwaite, Thisara Perera to go alongside T20 specialists such as Krishmar Santokie, the extra pace of Joseph should tilt the scales in his favor.

Not only the Patriots, even the West Indies selection committee will be keeping a close eye on the young turk’s progress.
