The bowler has been withdrawn from the second Test against the West Indies after admitting leaving the team bio-bubble
Manchester — England captain Joe Root fell cheaply on his return to international cricket after the dramatic withdrawal of Jofra Archer from the second Test against the West Indies at Old Trafford on Thursday.
Roston Chase took two wickets in two balls separated by the lunch break to leave England 29/2. Root then made 23 before he was caught in the slips off Alzarri Joseph, with England 112/3 at tea.West Indies’ fast bowlers were off target after captain Jason Holder won the toss under grey skies in Manchester. But on the stroke of lunch, off-spinner Chase struck with just his second ball to have Rory Burns lbw for 15, the left-handed opener compounding his dismissal with a wasted review.
Root, who missed England’s four-wicket loss in last week’s first Test at Southampton to attend the birth of his second child, survived the hat-trick. Together with Sibley he shared a stand of 52, with West Indies fast bowler Shannon Gabriel — the man of the match at Southampton — leaving the field injured.
Sibley had a let-off shortly before tea when, on 44, he saw Shamarh Brooks fail to hold a tough chance at short leg off Chase.
