THE Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) congratulates Dwayne Bravo on his fantastic performances with the tournament since its inception since 2013. The Trinidadian all-rounder has announced that this year’s CPL will be his last home event in a format that he has dominated.
Bravo has been part of five championship winning squads at the CPL claiming the title in 2015, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021 making him the most successful player in the tournament’s history. He is also the league’s leading wicket taker having claimed 128 victims across his illustrious CPL career.
Bravo’s last season will be with his home franchise, Trinbago Knight Riders, with whom he has won four titles. The first match of his final tournament will be on 31 August against the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, a team he led to their maiden CPL title in 2021.
Pete Russell, CEO of the CPL, said: “We are so grateful that Dwayne has been a part of our tournament since its inception in 2013 and his contribution to making the league what it is today is immeasurable. The CPL has become known around the world as the Biggest Party in Sport and Dwayne’s enthusiasm and amazing personality has done as much as anyone to bring that to life. We are certain that ‘Sir Champion’ will continue to play a massive role in T20 cricket going forward and we wish him all the best in the next chapter.”
