Abu Dhabi: Star West Indian all-rounder Dwayne Bravo says he will retire from international cricket after the ongoing T20 World Cup here as “time has come” to leave the stage after a career he can be proud of.
The 38-year-old Bravo came out of retirement in 2019 and has been a key member of the West Indies team defending its title in the ongoing T20 World Cup.
But the Caribbeans are out contention for a semifinal spot after losing to Sri Lanka—their third in the showpiece—in a Super 12 match on Thursday.
West Indies’ inconsequential match against Australia here on Saturday will be Bravo’s last international outing, bringing down the curtains on a career spanning more than 17 years.
“I think the time has come. I’ve had a very good career. To represent the West Indies for 18 years, had some ups and downs, but as I look back at it I’m very grateful to represent the region and the Caribbean people for so long,” said Bravo who has been an integral part of the four-time IPL champion Chennai Super Kings team.
