In an interview with Observer media Joseph, who has claimed eight wickets in five matches at an average of 45.75 since the start of the County Championship, said he has had to adjust fairly quickly to conditions in England.
“I wouldn’t say it’s been the best or that I am extremely satisfied, but it’s improving as I go along. It’s a lot different to the Caribbean, it’s different conditions in terms of different grounds, different types of surfaces and different types of players, so it’s also about adjusting to everything at once. It’s helping me to improve as a player in terms of adjusting to situ
