Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
One of the major problems that Best faced during that time was his inability to control his speed and failing to maintain a disciplined line and length. Constant injuries and his wayward nature kept him out of the side for the next few years. Frustrated with the long break from international cricket, he joined the Indian Cricket League (ICL) in 2008, playing for Mumbai Champs. When senior players of the West Indian side went on a strike in 2009, Best found himself back in the squad in 2009 for the Test series against Bangladesh but was dropped shortly after.
Another successful domestic season in 2011/2012 allowed him to return to the Test squad and he toured England in 2012. He grabbed that opportunity with both hands and scored a scintillating 95, becoming the only West Indian no. 11 besides Wes Hall to make a half-century in Test cricket, falling just 5 runs short of becoming the first No. 11 to score a Test ton. He had a fantastic year, as he also registered his best bowling figures in Tests of 6/40 against Bangladesh in November 2012 at Khulna. He ended the two-match Test series as the joint-highest wicket-taker with 12 scalps. In the following year against Zimbabwe, he managed to pick up just one wicket in 2 Tests.
Best was a part of the West Indies squad that toured Indian in November 2013. He was mediocre in both the Tests and proved ineffective against a strong Indian batting line-up.
He generated good pace in New Zealand but lacked consistency and direction. Best managed 8 wickets at the expense of 369 runs, the most runs leaked by a bowler in that 3-match rubber.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Tino Best brought qualities to the West Indies bowling attack that were missing for too long. Aggressive, confident and energetic, the 5 feet 8 inches Best carries the fight to the very end. He topped the regional averages in 2003 and was selected for the third Test at home to Australia in May 2003, although he didn't take a wicket.
Temperamentally, he has been likened to his fellow Barbadian, the great Wes Hall, especially in his exuberance and speed. Clocking in as fast as 92mph, Best found it hard to learn control - physically and mentally. He was last picked for a one-day series in May 2006 against Zimbabwe at home. In February 2008, Best, frustrated at not receiving a West Indies contract, signed up for the ICL. He quit the ICL the following year and found himself back in the Test squad, unexpectedly, after the senior team boycotted the St Vincent Test against Bangladesh over a contract dispute.
He made his Test return against England at Edgbaston in 2012 and surprised everyone by joining Hall as the only West Indies No. 11 batsmen to make a half-century in Test cricket. However, he fell five runs short of becoming the first No. 11 to score a Test century. Later that year, he produced his Test best of 6 for 40 against Bangladesh in Khulna and ended the two-Test series as the joint-highest wicket-taker with 12 wickets.
