Alzarri Joseph is likely to miss the remainder of the Indian T20 League after picking up an injury during Team Mumbai's last game against Team Rajasthan.
A news organisation reports that Joseph has a tear in his right arm, which he dislocated while diving on the field, which has all but ruled him out of contention for the upcoming Mumbai games.
Joseph came into the league as a replacement for New Zealand's Adam Milne, who didn't arrive in India at all because of a swollen heel. Milne had been bought at the December auction for Rs 75 lakh.
Joseph's Indian T20 League sojourn lasted a week. He announced himself spectacularly by picking up 6 for 12 — the best-ever figures in the league — to deliver an away win against Team Hyderabad. Three days later, Joseph hit the winning runs against Team Punjab in his first home game. However, he bowled just two overs in that game, in which he conceded 22 runs, going wicketless.
On Friday, before his fall, Joseph had already endured a hard beating, once again going wicketless and leaking 53 runs in three overs.
