West Indies allrounder Dwayne Bravo
has decided to call it quits from the
longer format of the game.
Bravo played his last Test match
against Sri Lanka in December 2010
and on Saturday decided to call it time
on his Test career through a statement,
reports CMC.
"Over the years, with the greatest
enthusiasm, I have done my best with
the deep awareness that I am
ultimately representing the people of
the game," Bravo said in the statement.
"I recognise that this is a difficult time
for all of us. Our people of the region
have seen and enjoyed great cricketing
days but we will not return to glory
until we agree to go forward with our
love for the game and the respect of
the administrators, players and the
public."
Bravo's announcement comes weeks
after he was dropped from West Indies'
World Cup squad.
The 31-year-old scored 2200 runs and
picked up 86 wickets in 40 Tests. He
also said that he had tasted both
success and defeats during his career
but had also accumulated joyous
moments. "
I have experienced the exhilarating joy
of victory and the devastating pain of
defeat. The joyous memories will
remind me of what we are capable of
achieving. I want to be part of that
mission," Bravo said. However, he will
continue to play both the ODIs and
T20s.
"I thank the cricketing fraternity for
their support and look forward to
serving you with determination and the
pride of being a West Indian", Bravo
added in the statement.
