Samuel Badree insists West Indies debacles do not influence their cricket

The team will be asked to put on a united front and if there is one thing this side does well it is rally against the outside world.

World number one T20 bowler Samuel Badree believes that the closeness of the group is one of the reasons for their success during such turbulent times behind the scenes.

“I think we are respected globally and within our region in terms of T20 cricket, the other versions not so much so,” said Badree ahead of the T20I series. “But we don’t really pay much attention to off the field battles, we focus on a team on our performances on the field so whatever happens off the field doesn’t really deter us that much.”

And despite the high turnover of players, Badree is confident that the more experienced players in the West Indies squad can make up for the rookies running out for the first time in the UAE.

Badree was one of the West Indies contingent to play in this year’s Pakistan Super League in the UAE, an experience he believes will be only of benefit for him and his team-mates.

“I’ve been here in the PSL, I’ve played with Islamabad United who eventually won the competition so I’ve got quite a bit of experience here,” he said.
