West Indies allrounder Dwayne Bravo has called time on his international career. He will however continue to play franchise T20 cricket across the world.

The 35-year-old made his debut in 2004, and played 40 Tests, 164 ODIs and 66 T20Is, although his last international appearance was more than two years ago, in a T20I against Pakistan in September 2016.

In a statement released to the media, 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. 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."

Happy riddance. Glad to see you go. Happy that you are no longer a part of West Indies cricket. I will never forgive this guy for the disgrace he brought upon West Indies cricket in India in 2014. He should have been made to pay back the expenses that debacle cost the West Indies. Anyway, don't let the door hit you!

Imagine a leading West Indian players retires and this is the 2nd. response to the leading post.

What does that say about Dwayne Bravo?

What international career? Bravo retired because WI was not interested in his services.

Lost all my respect after the strike in India... extremely selfish considering the impact it had on ordinary Indians whose livlihood depended on trading at big cricket games. Obviously the board was also heavily at fault but any moral higher ground was completely washed away at a stroke.
