(CMC) – Veteran all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has been hailed as a “trailblazer” and one of the finest players of his era, after bringing his international career to a close yesterday.
The 38-year-old announced Thursday he would retire following West Indies’ final group match of the Twenty20 World Cup against Australia, and came in for widespread praise in the wake of the outing which saw the Caribbean side slump to a heavy eight-wicket loss.
“Dwayne has been an outstanding cricketer of his generation, who has been popular with fans the world over. He was successful in all formats and is part of an elite club of two-time World champions,” said Geoff Allardice, the acting chief executive of cricket’s world governing body, the International Cricket Council.
