He was left out of the drawn first test in Trinidad earlier this week.

However with fellow guyanese Gudakesh Motie going wicketless in that game Joseph who is yet to play an international at providence is expected to take his place leaving Jomel Warrican as the primary spinner.

West Indies coach Andre Coley says they are planning accordingly based on the expected conditions for this game. 

Meanwhile, it’s understood that South Africa is considering benching Ryan Rickelton and choosing between left-armer Nandre Burger or an extra spinner in Dane Piedt to give them a 6-5 split for the game.
