Now, these franchise cricket leagues will ruin his Test career because he will earn more in these leagues than playing Test cricket for the West Indies.

Wood's loss is his gain. If he does well in this IPL, he should have an excellent pay package next season. Which means goodbye WI cricket. IPL will be his top priority.Indeed.
Sadly, I expect him to pick franchise cricket like Sunil Narine, Pollard etc.
Way, way up if he does well.$365k contract with LSG. It can only gp up from here.
Unless he plays in the first match. Medical team may evaluate his fitness and he must be confident that they will not fast track him and cause more trouble. After all he is very inexperienced and must be too excited to miss the glamour.Shamar Joseph has reached early for his first-ever IPL season to play for Lucknow Super Giants. Didn't he tell the Peshawar Zalmi management that he is unavailable for PSL because of injury?
Lollipop to PSL for IPL?
Gayle wants pace sensation Joseph in Windies squad for home World Cup
Fast bowling sensation Shamar Joseph should be fast-tracked into the West Indies squad for the home T20 World Cup in June, said former captain Chris Gayle.
Joseph burst onto the scene in his debut series in Australia earlier this year, grabbing a five-wicket haul in his maiden test in Adelaide.
He followed that up with a magical display in Brisbane where, bowling with a broken toe, the pacer claimed 7-68 to help West Indies record their first test win in Australia in 27 years.
The 24-year-old has played only two domestic T20 matches but Gayle says West Indies need Joseph's firepower at the World Cup.
"He's strong, he should be in the squad," Gayle, who launched the T20 World Cup trophy tour in New York on Tuesday, told Reuters in a telephone interview.
"We already have Alzarri Joseph, so to have the two Josephs there (will be great).
"Both might not play at the same time, but we would need him in this squad just in case anybody picks up an injury.
"It's a good headache to have for the selectors."
West Indies failed to make the Super 12 stage of the 2022 World Cup in Australia but have registered series victories against South Africa, India and England over the past year.
In Daren Sammy, they have a coach who knows what it takes to win a global trophy having captained West Indies to T20 World Cup titles in 2012 and 2016.
Gayle was happy with the "all-round" look of the group under captain Rovman Powell.
"Andre Russell back in the squad, there's some more experience in the squad in Jason Holder and Nicholas Pooran," Gayle said.
"Those guys will have a big part to play for West Indies to lift the trophy."
A T20 pioneer whose entertaining batting made him a sought-after name in franchise leagues, Gayle said 20-overs cricket had made other formats a lot more result-oriented.
"You watch test cricket these days, it's played a bit faster than a couple of years back. Teams scoring 300 within a day with ease, that's because of T20 cricket," he said.
"It's the same in 50-overs cricket. Teams can score and chase down 400 as well. Everything has changed in the game, thanks to T20 cricket."
Gayle, who smashed the first hundred in T20 Internationals at the 2007 World Cup, was pleased to have played his role in the growth of the format.
"Being the first person to score the first T20 century, that was fantastic. I think from there, the game actually blossomed," Gayle, who played 103 tests and 301 one-day internationals, said.
"When that happened, it just opened the door for other players to realise that there's an opportunity to get centuries there."
The World Cup will be played in West Indies and the United States between June 1-29.

A forgettable first over for Shamar Joseph in IPL.
Relax, these are the growing pains for a young cricketer. He's barely played any domestic cricket.I already knew he is just an overhyped bowler
If anything he is not hyped enough. Find me another bowler who can bowl that 10+ over spell in Australia with such accuracy and sustained pace . That too , for a rookie with a broken toe.I already knew he is just an overhyped bowler
Thing is he only ever played 2 T20s in his life prior to IPL ! He hasn't taken a T20 wicket yet.After Test heroics in Australia, to a rollercoaster IPL, and now being selected in the West Indies ICC T20I World Cup 2024 squad, to be honest, I don't consider him a T20 bowler. He prioritizes building pressure on batters but never tries to deceive them through his variations in T20s, which makes him a Test cricket product only. That's why he couldn't perform well in the IPL
Shamar Joseph delivered a lengthy spell that featured a double wicket maiden. He is on fire on his home turfShamar Joseph returns to play his first-ever home Test as South Africa makes two changes for the 2nd Test. The star West Indies quick, Joseph, who sat out the first Test, has replaced veteran pacer Kemar Roach in the XI. This will mark Joseph's first Test on West Indies soil, following his impressive performance earlier this year during the Test series against Australia. The 24-year-old currently has 17 wickets from five Test matches at an average of 28.47, with two of those games coming in Australia and three in England.
Superb 5fer from Shamar Joseph against South Africa in the ongoing 2nd Test between the both sides. Displaced glimpses of his brilliance in Australia today. His figures so far 5/33 in 14 overs.Shamar Joseph delivered a lengthy spell that featured a double wicket maiden. He is on fire on his home turf
