The 28-year-old showcased his big-match temperament in the semi-final against hosts Bangladesh, scoring a crucial 62 off 88 balls in a chase of 227, while also contributing with his nagging seam bowling. His ability to accelerate was evident earlier in the tournament when he smashed a 74-ball century against Fiji, finishing among the top five batsmen with 285 runs at an average of 57. Springer came through the Barbados age-group system, representing their Under-17 and Under-19 sides, and was picked up by the Barbados Tridents in the CPL for the 2016 edition.
