BANGALORE, India (CMC) – Trinidadian all-rounder Samuel Badree captured the prize for the most economical bowling figures as the Twenty20 Champions League awarded players for top performances in their respective domestic competitions earlier this week.

The figures of all the domestic T20 tournaments were taken into account in order to decide on the winners.

The 28-year-old leg-spinner copped the award for his performances in the Stanford 20/20 series, the tournament Trinidad & Tobago won to qualify for the Champions League here.

“The function was the most gala one I have been to and to see Samuel Badree walking up to collect the award was really a tremendous feeling,” said T&T Cricket Board’s chief executive Forbes Persaud who attended the function here.

“T&T was on the map at this international tournament and we now hope that the players can use this to motivate themselves unto great things here.”

Badree and T&T will launch their campaign in the tournament when they clash with English county Somerset here tomorrow.

T&T are competing in Group A which also includes Indian Premier League champions Deccan Chargers.
