Mumbai, April 22 (IBNS) Royal Challengers Bangalore have called up South African Chinaman bowler Tabraiz Shamsi to replace the injured West Indies leg-spinner Samuel Badree for the remainder of the VIVO IPL 2016.
Shamsi will be available for selection for RCB subject to the completion of contractual paperwork formalities.

Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chairman, Amrit Thomas said: “RCB is pleased to have signed in SA's left arm chinaman bowler Tabraiz Shamsi for injured Badree.

While we will miss Samuel Badree, we are excited about the variety that Shamsi brings to our bowling attack.
