The legendary West Indies cricketer Dwayne Bravo announced his decision from international cricket on Saturday, August 31. Regarded as one of the best death-overs bowlers of all time, Bravo will retire after the conclusion of the ongoing Caribbean Premier League 2024.
The 40-year-old Bravo retired from international cricket in November 2021 after winning two T20 World Cup titles with West Indies in 2012 and 2016. In his retirement post on Instagram, Bravo said he would be playing his 'final professional tournament' in front of his Caribbean people in CPL.
"It's been a great journey and I'm looking forward to playing my final professional tournament in front of my Caribbean people," Bravo posted on Instagram. "TKR is the place where everything started for me and will end with my team."
Bravo famously leads the bowling chart in T20 cricket history with a record 630 wickets in 578 matches. He has also scored 6970 runs in T20 cricket to display his all-round superiority since his debut in 2006.
He recently featured in Major League Cricket where he led Texas Super Kings to Eliminator and is representing Trinbago Knight Riders in the ongoing CPL 2024. Bravo remains the leading wicket-taker in CPL history with 128 wickets in 94 innings.
Bravo also dominated the Indian Premier League (IPL) where he is the third-highest leading wicket-taker with 183 wickets in 158 innings. The pace all-rounder also leads the bowling charts for the five-time IPL winners Chennai Super Kings and has won the prestigious Purple Cap with them in the 2015 season.
In international cricket, Bravo also dominated the shortest format with 78 wickets in 77 T20I innings. He remains the leading wicket-taker for the Caribbean side despite playing his last game in November 2021. Bravo also picked 86 Test wickets and 199 wickets in ODI cricket to go down in history as a modern-day great.
