Samuel Badree is one of those spinners who has largely played only T20 cricket in his career. The West Indian leg-spinner has last played first-class cricket in 2009 and his last 50-over game came back in 2013. Moreover, he has represented the West Indies team only in T20I cricket.
In fact, Badree has played four times the number of T20s than the total number of first-class and List ‘A’ games put together. Badree has played three seasons of the IPL and will be remembered for his hat-trick in the 2017 season.
