Dwayne Bravo, the legendary West Indian all-rounder, has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket with immediate effect after sustaining a groin injury in CPL 2024. Bravo was playing for Trinbago Knight Riders in the ongoing CPL edition and was supposed to play the whole season. However, an injury while playing against St. Lucia Kings ruled him out of the tournament, and the all-rounder has decided to finally call time on his illustrious career.

Bravo retired from international cricket after the 2021 T20 World Cup, and played his last IPL game in 2022 for CSK, before taking over the role as a bowling coach for the same franchise. After the ongoing CPL, Bravo was supposed to play for MI Emirates in ILT20, but has now opted out and would not be seen playing competitive cricket from hereon.
