Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
As a player, though, Brooks was not particularly impressive and the shield of a sharp and astute cricketing mind could only take him so far if he could not put the weight of runs or wickets behind him to back it up. He had the reputation of being a solid top-order batsman and a decent leg-break bowler who could turn the ball, but the all-rounder was certainly lacking a breakthrough performance of note.
He was, however, selected to lead the Under-19 team for the World Cup in 2008 but couldn’t fair too well with the bat or ball. The fact that his leadership didn’t take his team too far in the tournament didn’t help his cause much either. Brooks went back to grind it out in domestic cricket, and decided to focus on his batting rather than his leggies.
His numbers still flatter to deceive as he meanders around the A side of the West Indies, but he has managed to break into the St. Kitts franchise in the CPL and continues to play for them as of the 2018 edition of the tournament.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
In full flow, Shamarh Brooks is all elegance. He drives mercilessly through the off side and often finishes his flicks standing on one leg. But it took four innings in Tests before these skills were visible.
Delayed gratification has been a theme of Brooks' career. As a teenager, he was part of two Under-19 World Cup squads, even captaining West Indies in the 2008 edition. But he found it hard to take to first-class cricket. Brooks wanted to be an electrical engineer if not a cricketer, a switch that might have played on his mind when he was dropped by Barbados in 2012, having made only one fifty after his debut in 2007.
His comeback for Barbados was as boisterous as his exit had been tame. In 2015, Brooks made 124 against Windward Islands in his first innings back, followed it up with two more hundreds in the same year, and was immediately back in the West Indies' plans with a Board President's XI call-up against Australia.
But it wasn't until 2018 when he seriously challenged for the senior side again. As West Indies A captain, he made 91 and 122* against India A during a tour of England, and two fifties against the same opponents a year later earned him a place in West Indies' squad for the home series against India.
