St John’s, ANTIGUA – Cricket West Indies salutes Dwayne Bravo for his 12 years’ service to West Indies Cricket. This following the all-rounder’s announcement of his retirement from international cricket, yesterday (October 24).

Bravo played 12 years in the WINDIES uniform and has played multiple roles in all three formats and was also captain. During his tenure, he was considered one of the most exciting players.

He has the record of having the best bowling strike rate, 32.7 for any WINDIES players in ODIs in his 164 matches. He took 199 wickets and made 5,874 runs in that format.

Bravo made his international debut against England in ODI in Guyana in April 2004 and played his last T20I in September 2016 against Pakistan in Dubai.

He also has 40 Tests and 66 T20Is to his credit.

As a game-changing all-rounder, Bravo has racked some impressive achievements.

Batting:

• Highest Test Score 113
• Highest ODI Score 112*

Bowling

• 86 Test wickets at an economy rate of just 3.17 
• 199 ODI wickets at an average of 29.51
• 52 T20I wickets

Director of Cricket, Jimmy Adams, in his tribute, says “Dwayne has been an outstanding performer across all three formats of the game. He has consistently added value to all levels of West Indies Cricket with his high level of all-round skill combined with an infectious energy and enthusiasm for the game”

CEO, Johnny Grave says, “On behalf of Cricket West Indies and cricket fans throughout the region, I would like to pay tribute to Dwayne’s International career and thank him for his outstanding contribution to West Indies Cricket.  To have won three ICC Global events is a remarkable achievement and will live long in the memories of all West Indies supporters.  We hope that Dwayne can continue to contribute to Trinidad and West Indies cricket in the future.”

 Bravo remains on the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force squad for the Super50 Cup semis and final this weekend. The Red Force will go up against the CCC Marooners in the second semi-final on Friday (October 26) at the Kensington Oval.

 Dwayne captained his team, Trinbago Knight Riders for back to back Caribbean Premier League titles this September.

Jimmy, you have no credibility when you choose to represent the CWI and Pybus. You gave up West Indies Cricket when you joined forces with the CWI invaders.

Come back home, join the fans and help take the resistance movement forward as we seek to take back our cricket- WEST INDIES CRICKET

Today its Bravo, tomorrow it will be Pooran and Hety and Rutherford and Oshane

When will it all end? When decent people like you join forces with the cancerous CWI, it sets as back as people and as a West Indian Cricket nation.

We have been deprived our having our best team represent us for over 20 years now and the results are plain to see.

And Cameron adds "is a good thing as you was never going play for Windies again".

Thanks Dwayne for always giving your best to WI cricket, you had some misjudgment but no one is perfect especially in the game of cricket. Still like you as a player, just unfortunate that your career ended so prematurely. Blessing to you and your future endeavors.

you know he knew he wasn't going to get picked again right?

Must say man played with his heart on his sleeve.
Thanks DJ bravo

In reply to Emir

This whole farewell thing must be legitimized by some form of tribute from former WIPA head, Ramnarine.

Come in Dinas!

In reply to Drapsey

Whatever happened to the image rights company formed by Ramnarine?

In reply to Narper

yeah good question, they weren't to be suing WICB too?
But seriously wonder where de money collected from that is.

What a phoney bunch at CWI.....

Why not say good riddance, we are glad to see you go.

Conde is happy ...Trini's are troublemakers.

In reply to Narper

When Dinas left WIPA, he gave up everything.

Another bright future cut short by Camron and boys. Cameron destroyed our cricket as he cut got rid of Gayle, Chanderpaul, Sawan, Samuel, Bravo bothers, Pollard, Narine, Sammy, Ramdine, and others. No wonder he changed the name from WICB to CWI, which really means 'Cameron West Indies'. My greatest disappointment is to see a man like Jimmy Adams become part of the destruction of West Indies cricket

Stubbornly I may add. Who would have thought that our prestigious dungheap will find men out...

Forking hypocrites never choke on dem spit?

Thank you Mr.DJ Bravo. You always gave your best and provided us with many moments to remember. A sought after T20 player with many accomplishments.

Thank you

I can't believe Cricket West Indies would salute this guy who so disgraced West Indies cricket in the debacle of 2014 in India. I'm glad to see that he will no longer be a part of West Indies cricket. Unfortunately he is leaving without paying back the West Indies all the cost in money and prestige incurred due to his stupid acts of 2014. Happy riddance!
