The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have announced on social media that West Indian spinner Samuel Badree is out of the Indian Premier League (IPL). South African chinaman bowler Tabraiz Shamsi has replaced him.
Badree was injured during the World T20 final on April 3 and has not played a game since then.
Shamsi, who plays for South African franchise Titans, had a successful stint with the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) . He had bagged 11 wickets in seven CPL games at an average of 13.27 for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in 2015, while conceding 6.79 runs an over. In the 2015-16 edition of South Africa's domestic T20 competition, the Ram Slam T20, he picked up nine wickets in ten games for Titans.
Allan Donald, Royal Challengers' bowling coach, said he would add variation and "mystery" to the franchise's attack. "Meet our new mysterious spinner," Donald was quoted as saying by the Royal Challengers website. "I've seen him bowl for Titans. He is very successful with what he has done in the past couple of years. Look out for a lot of mystery balls in there."
