On his return to the Test side on 10 June 2012, he broke the record for highest score by a number 11 batsman, making 95 against England at Edgbaston.

[3] Tino Best made his debut in first-class cricket on 25 January 2002, playing for Barbados against Guyana in the Busta Cup.

[8] After an ineffective first Test, Best was overlooked for the West Indies' overseas tours and drifted out of contention with the emergence of fellow fast bowlers Fidel Edwards and Jerome Taylor.

Back at domestic level, he fell out of favour and struggled to be selected for Barbados' Red Stripe Bowl side.

Best's first international wickets came in his second Test, the first in a four-match series against England; his maiden dismissal was that of batsman Graham Thorpe.

As a result, an understrength squad was picked for the series against Bangladesh: of the 15 players named, which included Best, nine were uncapped.

[16] Sriram Veera of ESPNcricinfo noted of his performance on the second day of the first Test that "[Best] has, in the past, been guilty of trying to bowl faster than what he was capable of and being erratic as a result.

[21] After some good performances, his contract was extended, but his form tailed off and he was demoted from opening the bowling, before being dropped from the team at the end of July.

Though he did not play in the series, two months later when the West Indies toured England Best was drafted into the Test squad as cover for injured fast bowler Shannon Gabriel.
