Building on Historic win in Australia
Joseph’s confidence is high after his impressive performance against Australia earlier this year. Making his Test debut on that tour, he claimed a crucial 13 wickets, including a match-winning 7-wicket haul in the second Test. “Since our last tour of Australia, we maintain our energy,” Joseph said. “That’s the mindset we come into this series with.”
