RCB spinner Badree ruled out of IPL with injury

Royal Challengers Bangalore's West Indian recruit Samuel Badree was ruled out of Indian Premier League after failing to recover from his injury sustained during the World T20 earlier this month.

He was replaced by Tabraiz Shamsi of South Africa.

The Windies leg-spinner had injured himself during the World Twenty20 final against England on April 3 and was out of action since then.

His place in the RCB squad will be taken by chinaman spin bowler Shamsi, who plays for South African franchise Titans.

Shamsi, 26, previously played in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) after catching the eye of the touring West Indies in South Africa in 2014-15.

He enjoyed reasonable success at the CPL, claiming 11 wickets in seven games at an average of 13.27 for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in 2015.
