The 21-year-old fast bowler is currently representing St Kitts and Nevis in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League, which wraps up with the final on September 16 in Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph only returned to international cricket in June following a layoff to recover from a stress fracture of the back sustained on the tour of New Zealand last December.<\/p>

He subsequently played two One-Day Internationals against Bangladesh last month in Guyana with little success.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A member of the title-winning West Indies Under-19 World Cup side two years ago, Joseph has gone on to play six Tests and 16 ODIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will be joined in the training squad by Windies A team star, Rahkeem Cornwall, who is also campaiging in the CPL for St Lucia Stars.<\/p>
