Dwayne Bravo Retires from All Cricket After Historic T20 Career

Dwayne Bravo, one of the most successful T20 cricketers of all time, has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. The 40-year-old West Indian allrounder, who will turn 41 next month, made the decision after his final Caribbean Premier League (CPL) season was cut short due to a groin injury. 

An Illustrious Career in T20 Cricket

Bravo’s impact on the game is immense, finishing his T20 career with a staggering 631 wickets from 582 appearances, only second to his West Indian compatriot Kieron Pollard in terms of overall contributions. 

He was known for his incredible death bowling, which made him a valuable asset for teams around the globe.

His international career ended in 2021, but Bravo continued to play in domestic leagues, most notably with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL, where he transitioned into coaching roles.

He has mentored young talents like Dominic Drakes and USA’s Ali Khan, helping to shape the future generation of cricketers.

Bravo, the all-time leading wicket-taker in T20 cricket, shared an emotional message on Instagram, expressing that while his mind wanted to keep playing, his body could no longer endure the physical strain.

Bravo’s retirement marks the end of an 18-year career that saw him dominate T20 cricket around the world, playing in leagues like the IPL, PSL, and Big Bash, while also becoming a two-time T20 World Cup champion with the West Indies.

Despite his body giving up, Bravo leaves behind a legacy of excellence, passion, and dedication to the game, both as a player and a mentor.
