Finally, the world-class all-rounder, Dwayne Bravo called curtains on his international career on Thursday. Meanwhile, the news came in as a shocker to the fans, as it was expected that Dwayne Bravo would participate in the upcoming 2019 ICC World Cup.

However, the 35-year-old made his debut in 2004 and played 40 Tests, 164 ODIs and 66 T20Is. His last international appearance was more than two years ago, in a T20I against Pakistan in September 2016. After that, he once again had the spat with the respective board to see the wrong side of the things.

Meanwhile, Bravo released a statement to the media and said he will always remember the moment when he received his maiden cap 14 years ago. Further, Bravo added he would be continuing his professional cricket.

In his retirement statement, Bravo said, “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 Lords Cricket Ground against England in July 2004,” he said.

”The enthusiasm and passion I felt then, I have kept with me throughout my career. 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,” he added.

However, it has been a tremendous career for Dwayne Bravo for Windies. It would have been more eventful one had he continued his career by keeping the spats with the board aside. Besides international cricket, he has explored himself as the T20 specialist to play across the world.
