Injury during CPL 2024 ends Dwayne Bravo's cricket career!

The renowned West Indian all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has declared his immediate retirement from all forms of cricket following a groin injury he suffered during the CPL 2024. Bravo was expected to play the entire season for the Trinbago Knight Riders participating in the current CPL edition. However, an injury sustained during a match versus St Lucia Kings prevented him from competing, and now the all-rounder has made the decision to end his remarkable career.

Following the 2021 T20 World Cup, Bravo announced his retirement from international cricket. He played his final IPL match for CSK in 2022 before accepting a position as a bowling coach with the same team. Bravo was scheduled to play for MI Emirates in the ILT20 after the current CPL, but he has opted out and won't be seen playing competitive cricket any more.

Dwayne Bravo's farewell message:

Bravo declared his retirement on his official Instagram account, saying that while his body is no longer prepared for the labour, his mind is still eager to continue, thus he has chosen to hang up his boots. Check out the viral post by Dwayne Bravo below.

With 631 wickets in 582 appearances and 6970 runs scored, Dwayne Bravo concluded his T20 career with impressive stats that demonstrate his versatility in the shortest format. With 129 wickets in 107 matches, he concluded his CPL career as the highest wicket-taker as well. Following his retirement, he is probably going to serve as a coach and mentor.

His fans were quick to flood the comment section with love and prayers. Many fans also expressed their disappoinment over Dwayne Bravo's retirement. It will be interesting to see how Trinbago Knight Riders will keep up with this major loss in CPL 2024.
