West Indies Legend Dwayne Bravo Announces Retirement From All Forms Of Cricket

West Indies decorated all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has announced his retirement from all cricket after his farewell Caribbean Premier League (CPL) season was cut short due to an injury. Bravo, who is going to turn 41 next month, is the leading wicket-taker in the T20 format. Bravo retired from international cricket in 2021 and decided to end his time in the Indian Premier League last year. In the past year, Bravo shifted his focus to coaching roles, featuring for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Afghanistan.

"Today is the day I say goodbye to the game that has given me everything. From the age of five, I knew this was what I wanted to do--this was the sport I was destined to play. I had no interest in anything else, and I dedicated my entire life to you. In return, you gave me the life I dreamed of for myself and my family. For that, I can't thank you enough," Bravo said in a post on Instagram.

Bravo was set to retire from the CPL after the conclusion of the ongoing campaign. His accolades boast him as the most decorated player to feature in the tournament, lifting five titles, including three with the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR).

In his farewell season, the TKR all-rounder ended up sustaining an injury while attempting to complete a catch of St Lucia Kings captain Faf du Plessis in the seventh over.

He left the field immediately and didn't bowl a single over, which eventually turned out to be his final game in the CPL. He stepped up to bat at the number 11 during TKR's failed attempt to chase down 219.

In the CPL, Bravo played 107 matches and scored 1,155 runs at an average of 20.62 and a strike rate of 129.33. With the ball, he took 129 wickets at an average
