Shamar Joseph has two sons with his wife
West Indies fast bowler Shamar Joseph unleashed a fiery spell with the new ball during the opening Test against Australia at Kensington Oval in Barbados.
Having played a pivotal role in the West Indies’ historic victory on Australian soil in 2024—their first Test win there in 27 years—Joseph once again troubled Pat Cummins and his side, this time on familiar turf. In a menacing opening burst, the right-arm pacer conceded only 13 runs across his first seven overs and took the crucial wickets of Sam Konstas and Cameron Green, placing Australia firmly on the back foot.

Meanhwile, West Indies cricketer Shamar Joseph finds himself at the centre of serious allegations involving se*ual misconduct, as reported by Kaieteur News. A young woman from Berbice is said to have accused him of r*pe, while other women including a teenager, have reportedly alleged instances of se*ual assault and inappropriate behavior. The allegations, which were initially regarded as credible, appear to have been overshadowed owing to the emotional strain experienced by the alleged victim.
Eleven women, including a teenager, have come forward with accusations against the 25-year-old Guyanese cricketer and one of the victims has gone on to reveal that the cricketer even tried to bribe her to settle the matter.

Shamar Joseph was born on August 31, 1999, in the remote village of Baracara, Guyana, where he grew up in a large family facing financial challenges. His parents supported his passion for cricket from an early age by crafting practice balls out of fruit. During his youth, Joseph stepped away from cricket to work as a security guard and laborer to help support his family.
However, with encouragement from his family and future wife, he returned to the sport and eventually earned a place in the West Indies team. Joseph met his wife, Trishana Joseph, in New Amsterdam. Their relationship strengthened over the years, with Trishana standing by his side well before he rose to prominence. Together, they have two sons and continue to balance family life with his professional cricket career.
While not much is known about Trishana, she and Shamar got married in a Christian marriage and have two children together with the family often spotted supporting the cricketer inside stadiums. While her DOB isn’t known, Trishana aged between 20-25 years while her husband Shamar is aged 25.
Shamar made his first-class debut in February 2023 and took five wickets in only his second match, which paved the way for his inclusion in the national team. He made his international debut in January 2024 against Australia, where he impressed by taking five wickets and scoring 36 runs batting at No. 11—a record for debutants in that position. In his second Test match, he took a seven-wicket haul that helped West Indies secure their first Test victory in Australia in 27 years.
In addition to international cricket, Joseph has made significant contributions in T20 franchise leagues. He played a key role in the Guyana Amazon Warriors’ 2023 Caribbean Premier League title win, demonstrating both aggression and control. He was retained by the Lucknow Super Giants for the 2025 Indian Premier League season and also joined Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League.
Recognition for Joseph’s performances followed swiftly. In 2024, he received the ICC Player of the Month award. His outstanding bowling performance at the Gabba earned him ESPNcricinfo’s Test Bowling Performance of the Year. He was named Player of the Series in the Test series against Australia and was nominated for the ICC Emerging Men’s Cricketer of the Year. Cricket West Indies also awarded him a multi-year retainer contract, affirming their confidence in his long-term potential.

As his career progressed, Joseph’s financial standing grew accordingly. His net worth currently ranges between $2 and $3 million (₹16–24 crore), supported by his central contract, match fees, league salaries, and endorsement deals. His West Indies contract reportedly provides an annual income of $300,000 to $500,000, while his IPL contract with Lucknow Super Giants for the 2025 season is valued at ₹75 lakhs. Additional earnings from the CPL, PSL, and brand endorsements further strengthen his financial profile.
