Tue, Sep 1, '15

THE TRINIDAD and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) has congratulated Dwayne Bravo on being awarded the Humming Bird Medal (Gold) by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago for his outstanding contribution to the game of cricket.

The 31-year-old, who is from Santa Cruz, is a world class all-round cricketer whose talent is sought after by cricket franchises in the T20 format all around the world where his exuberant style of play has characterised Trinidad and Tobago cricket.

Earlier this year Bravo led T&T’s Red Steel cricket team to victory in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) regional T20 tournament from last place, to lift the championship crown in the semi-final play-offs and final in front of his home crowd at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port-of-Spain.

On Monday, president of the TTCB Azim Bassarath said that the national honour given to Bravo is well-deserved and will help to motivate other young cricketers to work hard and establish themselves much like he has done over the years.
