Badree made his first-class debut for Trinidad and Tobago in 2002, but played only sporadically at that level, instead concentrating on the limited-overs forms of the game.

After good form at domestic level, he was selected to make his Twenty20 International debut for the West Indies in June 2012, against New Zealand.

Badree was born to a mixed Indo-Trinidadian and Afro Trinidadian family in Barrackpore, a town in Trinidad's Penal-Debe region.

[2] Badree made his first-class debut for Trinidad and Tobago national cricket team in January 2002, aged 20, playing against the Leeward Islands in the 2001–02 Busta Cup.

Badree established himself in Trinidad and Tobago's limited-overs line-up a few seasons later, playing every match in the 2004–05 Regional One-Day Competition.

[4] At first-class level, Badree never played a full season, with his last matches for Trinidad and Tobago coming during the 2008–09 Regional Four Day Competition, aged 27.

[6] Later in the year, he signed with the Rajasthan Royals for the 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL), although he played only a single game (against the Delhi Daredevils).

[16] He struggled for form early in the season, going wicketless in his first three games, but eventually bounced back to finish as his team's leading wicket-taker, with nine wickets from eight matches.

[25] In April 2014, following the group stages of the World Twenty20, Badree moved to number one in the ICC Player Rankings for Twenty20 International bowlers, passing his teammate Sunil Narine.

[23] He struggled with a shoulder injury throughout the second half of 2014, which eventually required surgery, and in 2015 contracted dengue fever, which forced him to miss a series against Sri Lanka.

In August 2017, he was named in a World XI side to play three Twenty20 International matches against Pakistan in the 2017 Independence Cup in Lahore.
