Dwayne Bravo, the West Indies allrounder, has announced his retirement from Test cricket, but wants to continue representing the side in limited-overs games. Bravo had not played Tests since December 2010, and his decision comes after he lost the ODI captaincy to Jason Holder and was then axed from the one-day side for the tour of South Africa and also the World Cup.

West Indies had pulled out from their tour of India last year under Bravo's leadership over a payment dispute with their board and players association.

Bravo was picked for the T20 internationals against South Africa and was also given a central contract by the board.
