Dwayne Bravo quits Tests

KINGSTON: West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has announced his retirement from Test cricket, but wants to continue representing the side in limited-overs games.
In a statement announcing his retirement, Bravo said it was a “difficult time” for West Indies cricket and those associated with it, but added that he still wanted to “serve” the fraternity with “the pride of being a West Indian.”
Bravo had not played Tests since December 2010, and his decision comes after he lost the ODI captaincy to Jason Holder and was then axed from the one-day side for the tour of South Africa and also the World Cup.
West Indies had pulled out from their tour of India last year under Bravo’s leadership over a payment dispute with their board and players association. Bravo was picked for the T20 internationals against South Africa and was also given a central contract by the board. “Today I am announcing my retirement from Test cricket,” Bravo said.
