Tobago knight riders

Tobago Knight Riders: Trinidad and Tobago Knight Riders (TKR) all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has played his final match in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), bringing an unexpected and emotional end to an illustrious career. The 40-year-old T20 stalwart, who had initially planned to retire after the 2024 CPL season, was forced to call time on his CPL journey after suffering a groin injury during TKR’s match against the St Lucia Kings in Tarouba on Tuesday.

Bravo, who is set to turn 41 next month, sustained the injury while attempting to catch St Lucia captain Faf du Plessis in the seventh over.

Immediately pulling up in pain, Bravo left the field and didn’t bowl a single over in what turned out to be his final CPL game. In a poignant moment, Bravo returned to bat at No.11 in TKR’s failed chase of 219, facing just one ball before retiring hurt and fighting back tears as he left the pitch, marking a sombre conclusion to a glittering CPL career.
