North 24 Parganas (India) correspondent: 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 came out of retirement in 2019 and played as a key member in West Indies in defending the title in 2021 T20 World Cup in UAE. But the defending champions were outclassed in every match. Even in their do or die match against Sri Lanka, West Indies batting order faltered, except Shimron Hetmeyr whose lone battle of 81 runs could not get them over the line.
Bravo, who has appeared at all seven T20 World Cups and helped West Indies lift the trophy in 2012 and 2016, has 90 T20I caps for his country, scoring 1,245 runs and picking up 78 wickets. He has more than 500 appearances in the T20 format overall.
After making his international debut in 2004, Bravo also played in 40 Tests, scoring 2,200 runs at an average of 31.42 and taking 86 wickets. He also has 2,968 runs and 199 wickets to his name from 164 ODIs.
