Windies international Dwayne Bravo has announced retirement from international cricket. The all-rounder will only appear in T20 leagues across the world.

The 35-year-old played 40 Tests, 164 ODIs and 66 T20Is in a career spanning 14 years. He last appeared for the Windies two years ago.

“Today I want to confirm to the cricket world that I have officially retired from international cricket in all formats of the game. After 14 years when I made my debut for the West Indies, I still remember that moment I received the maroon cap before walking onto the Lord's Cricket Ground against England in July 2004. The enthusiasm and passion I felt then, I have kept with me throughout my career," he said in a retirement note.

Bravo in numbers   Tests 40 Runs 2,200 100s 3 50s 13   ODIs 164 Runs 2,968 100s 2 50s 10   T20Is 66 Runs 1,142 100s 0 50s 4

 

“However, I must accept that for me to preserve my longevity as a professional cricketer, I must do as others before have done, leave the international arena for the next generation of players,” the note added.

Bravo has also been a consistent performer in the IPL for Chennai Super Kings.
