West Indies fast-bowler Shamar Joseph has been ruled out of the upcoming ILT20 owing to a toe injury. 

Joseph scripted a historic Test win over Australia, taking seven wickets in the second innings of the Gabba Test. He will head back to his home before joining Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL.

Joseph picked up the injury on the third day of the Test when he was hit on his toe by a Mitchell Starc delivery.

The 24-year-old had a suspected toe fracture but was cleared of it on the fourth day of the Test. He was set to play for Dubai Capitals in the ILT20.

He was picked in the tournament ahead of the Australia Test series. Joseph will now undergo a recovery period before he heads to Pakistan for the PSL.
