Where does Shamar Joseph live?

Logging was Shamar’s only occupation and he once returned from death due to a falling tree. In such a situation, he decided to shift from there to another place. As a guard and laborer, he worked 12-hour days and got a chance to play cricket only on Sundays.
Bought arm guard before debut
Meanwhile, Shamar made his debut in this series and bought an arm guard three days before the start of the Test series.
