Bravo to release new song titled ‘Asia’

DUBAI: Just before the Pakistan Super League 2019 gets underway, Dwayne Bravo, the global Twenty20 ambassador, has released a new track titled Asia, says a PCB press release.

His previous track ‘Champion’ was a runaway hit and defined the ICC World T20 2016, and Bravo is now hoping for the same with his new song.

This song features several cricketers from Asia’s cricketing countries, and has definitely impressed former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi a lot.

Afridi took to Twitter sharing the song and wrote: “Well @DJBravo47, this is definitely an improvement on the Champion song, especially since you’ve included me in the lineup. Wishing you all the very best with this new number, I hope it gets just as popular!”

The one-minute-long song also features India stars MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena, Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan and Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan.

The 35-year-old all-rounder began working on the song in 2017, spending the entire season preparing for the album while nursing and injury.

Last year Bravo featured in a song for his team Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).

The official anthem titled ‘Bowl Them Out’ was the official anthem of Trinbago Knight Riders for the 2018 season of the Caribbean Premier League.

The music video also featured Bollywood superstar and co-owner of the franchise Shah Rukh Khan.

Bravo himself revealed the anthem, calling it a dream come true.

He said: “I did a song with Bollywood’s greatest who is also the owner of TKR. All this could not be possible without my team at home Jojo Wiz, Dexter Thomas, Kalveer Biradar on video production and Kryssi; thanks guys. To my fans all around the world, this song is for YOU. Thank you.”

Bravo places PSL amongst the top leagues he has played in. “I play T20 leagues around the world and they are all very exciting,” said Bravo. “I think PSL is one of the best leagues and the little I have played in the PSL, I found people very caring and they made me feel at home.

“HBL PSL is a very competitive league and I look forward to do my best this year.”

Bravo is playing for Quetta Gladiators this year, which means he will rub shoulders with fellow star all-rounder Shane Watson, apart from Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed.

Bravo will be the lead artist not just off the field but on the field too. Bravo has made a promise to tour Pakistan, for the last leg of the tournament, which has excited the fans no end.
