ICC World T20 2016: Team of the tournament

Samuel Badree

No spinner took more wickets than Badree since the Super-10 stage

Samuel Badree has been the world's No.1 ranked T20I bowler for some time before he miraculously disappeared from the rankings altogether a short while before the tournament began. But thanks to his impressive performances in the World T20 and his part in helping the Windies becoming World champions, he is back on top again.

Badree isn't your usual run-of-the-mill leg spinner, he is someone who uses the variations in pace and length rather than turn to defeat the batsman. And despite bowling the bulk of his overs in the powerplay, his tournament economy rate of 5.39 and career T20I economy rate of 5.39 shows that he isn't someone who gives away a lot of runs and that his record in this tournament was no fluke.

Only two bowlers, both of whom played in the qualifiers, took more wickets than Badree’s 10. His ability to strangle the batsman and keep things quiet meant they had to take risks later in the innings, where against Russell and Bravo, two of the tournament's better death bowlers, they fell right into the trap set by Sammy.
