Dwayne Bravo had already said before the start of CPL 2024 that he would retire from the league after this season. But his retirement happened early and the reason for this was his injury. On Tuesday, the Trinbago Knight Riders legend suffered a groin problem while playing against St. Lucia Kings, after which he announced his retirement before the end of the season. He got hurt while taking a catch. After this injury, Bravo took another big decision and said goodbye to all types of cricket.
Bravo wrote, “Today I am saying goodbye to the game that has given me so much since the age of five. I knew this was what I wanted to do. I was made to play this game. I knew better. 21 years of career was a wonderful journey.”
Bravo said that he wants to play, but his body is not supporting him. He wrote, “I want to continue my relationship with cricket. But it’s time to face the truth. My mind tells me to play but my body is not cooperating. My body can no longer bear the pain.”
