Shamar Joseph's life has been turning upside down for the last few days. From Barakara, a remote village in Guyana, he struggled to reach the highest level of cricket. A year and a half ago, who was the night watchman, he became the hero of Australia's slaughter in Brisbane, and now he has made it to the central contract of Cricket West Indies. The 24-year-old right-arm pacer Shamar has been moved from a 'franchise' contract to a 'retainer' (central) contract. "The decision has been taken in recognition of Joseph's outstanding contribution and invaluable performance in the historic win over Australia in Brisbane recently," CWI said in a press release on Thursday.
