Ok man.... I cannot argue with the logic that says the same player is valuable in IPL but he is a has-been when he plays in PSL. There is no arguing against such thinking. You win.

One of your captain is Rahane.... It is a bumpy road if we start going down this road of chest thumping.
Big Mac is not a has been. He's one of the shrewdest captains around and neither he is a mug with the bat, He's a terrific fielder too. He will be part of every league for a couple of years. PSL at this point can't afford big players and IPL can. IPL has a window and PSL doesn't. Players have no reservations visiting India. These are the only differences. Good players will be part of all leagues
Rahane's an Indian!!! It's an Indian League!! Also, he wasn't the first choice anyway. Saying bMAc is a mug in either PSL or IPL is a joke. He's valuable still
A geniune question? Yuvraj singh should never be selected in IPL or any t-20 league, yet he will get picked because off the field he is a great name that brings in sponsors and lot of publicity. Same goes for Baz and Gayle in India, but in PSL you have no such history, they never played in PSL in their prime so why do they get picked in PSL?
Say for eg 5-7 years down the line Pak players get picked in IPL, the IPL teams will have no reason to pick Pak players who are old and might not be able to perform well but for the PSL teams there is history and fan recognition that will make the same players good acquisitions atleast in the financial sense.

Washed up guys are side shows in IPL while they are marquee players in PSL. That is the point.

so today it's clear that Jofra archer didn't fake injury. He is still recovering from side strain.

Jofra is a young guy with more energy and better recovery. He wouldn't fake an injury and shouldn't.
Bravo and Russel are older guys who don't have many years of cricket left in them now. So they would like to make the most out of it.

Would it surprise anyone if it was the IPL franchises putting pressure on the players that leads to some of their actions?

I just don't want any player that is ready to skip matches in the PSL for the IPL. Think Bravo's actions were not right though the monetary benefit is obvious. He also seems to really love CSK for some reason but Rusell's miraculous recovery is another that I find hard to buy.
There's no shame in admitting that money speaks. No use crying over spilt milk.

Don't be surprised if that's the case. Cricket is far far far way from the following scenario but it will get there one day. Barca deciding if they can release Messi for an international game.
Why surprise? I in fact would have instructed someone I am paying a million bucks for 10 weeks to go slow for the token money whoever pays - for the top earners, couple of IPL game pays more than entire PSL!!!!!!!.
If a player gets injured before IPL, I am not paying, so money is saved - fair enough. But, when someone spends 100 million for a club, he doesn't bother for saving that 1 million, rather he'll be concerned to miss out one weapon, which he can't replace adequately.
I am certain that IPL drafted players were instructed to "keep low profile" in PSL, so that they are not drained or bruised - not necessarily everything has to be written.
If this schedule remains, by next year, players might put a clause to allow WaG & kids to accompany them in Dubai at PSL's expense.

Any sane person would have done the same thing as Bravo..I fully support his decision and he has every reason in this world to love CSK...they have employed him for last few years paying him millions and made sure he lives a luxury filled life...He has also developed a life long friendship with dhoni and others at CSK...and invited them to his home in the carribean and even called them brothers from another mother...

I'm not saying that his decision doesn't make financial sense for him. It's not good for the PSL, and I want our owners to take that into account in future editions. Apart from affecting the teams' plans, it's terrible for brand equity as well having these things happen.
And despite the controversies, I've always supported CSK as my team in the IPL. I visited Chennai for my best friends wedding sometime ago (lots of hoops to jump through as I was born Pakistani but that's a story for another day), and I really liked the place/people. Even caught a game at my friend's insistence; the atmosphere was pretty awesome.

The PSL owners and Najam are in tricky situation..they want to attract top talent to make PSL more appealing but at the same time are unable to do that since it's too close to the IPL.
there is no question that value and quality of PSL will only increase if the Bravos, archers, Watsons Russells of the t20 universe take part in PSL..to make that possible, they have to schedule it sometime different than what it is now..

He is a smart bloke, played his cards well and displayed his Bravado in his first game. Well rested in PSL and ready to go in IPL 
, Bravo.....Bravo
, Bravo.....BravoDon't see anything wrong with Bravo's action but hate liars.
I remember how Mitchell Johnson couldn't take stick on twitter for citing family issues for missing out on the PSL but I didn't see those same family reasons hinder his participation in the IPL - Money is king.

All of them were in the PSL. Russell played a huge part in the inaugural season victory for IU, he was banned during the second season and in the third season he got injured in the second match while fielding on the boundary.
Archer also played one match and then got injured, he is still injured and hasn't shown up to the IPL yet.
Watson has played all three seasons to date.
Bravo was in the first season and hasn't shown up in the other two. His exploits in the first season weren't much to write home about.

Cricket is indeed a fickle mistress. To be whacked around like a rag dolls days after one of the best T20 all-round performances I've seen must be a great leveller for Bravo.

Man, you are doubting about it too much in deep! However you may be right that they faked injuries.
Another window like October would be very good for PSL. It is reasonable to argue that some of these players playing it safe for the cash.

PSL pays 600k and IPL a few times more so Bravo skipped PSL faking injury. That is logic used by most posters.
Why would he do that...why would he not play both and earn more $$$$ ?
unless of course he was genuinely injured and recovered in 4 weeks of PSL

Would he still get paid in the IPL if he got injured in some other league and could not play.

No. Foreign players missing IPL due to injury sustained outside of IPL will not get a dime. Currently, only Indian players are covered by insurance policy where if a player is missing out on IPL due to injury or fatique (even outside of IPL) will be covered under insurance. Last year Ashwin and KL Rahul missed IPL due to long home season and were paid by IPL insurance
Whole league didn’t even make 500k. Check the no again dude.PSL pays 600k and IPL a few times more so Bravo skipped PSL faking injury. That is logic used by most posters.

West Indies’ star allrounder Dwayne Bravohas called time on his international career on Thursday. Bravo, who made his ODI debut in April 2004 against England at Georgetown, missed out on the tour of India after his name was absent from the list of 25 players revealed by Cricket West Indies (CWI) to obtain visas for the ODI leg of the ongoing tour.
The 35-year-old Bravo released a statement which was published in Trinidad and Tobago newspaper, Newsday. It reads: “Today I want to confirm to the cricket world that I have officially retired from international cricket in all formats of the game. After 14 years when I made my debut for the West Indies, I still remember that moment I received the maroon cap before walking onto the Lords Cricket Ground against England in July 2004. The enthusiasm and passion I felt then, I have kept with me throughout my career.
“However, I must accept that for me to preserve my longevity as a professional cricketer, I must do as others before have done, leave the international arena for the next generation of players.”
Bravo, who has played 164 one-day internationals, scored 2,968 at an average of 25.36. He has picked wickets with his best bowling figures 6/43. In the T20 format, a specialist and experienced campaigner, Bravo has played 66 matches, he has smashed 1142 runs at an average of 24.29 and has claimed 52 wickets. His best bowling figures in T20Is are 4/28.
Bravo last played a Test in December 2010 against Sri Lanka where he had scored 68 in a drawn match after rain interrupted play. Bravo has played 40 Tests and has scored 2200 runs with 13 half centuries and three centuries to his name. He has claimed 86 wickets, including his best bowling figures of six for 55.
“I thank the countless persons who were instrumental to my success, particularly my family and QPCC where I developed my skills at an early age. I thank the many loyal fans who continue to support my journey and who recognize my efforts on and off the field. I am extremely fortunate to have a career that has taken me across the globe into the most prestigious dressing rooms sharing experiences with all the recent legends of this glorious game. I will continue my professional career as a cricketer and entertainer living as a true champion,” Bravo said in his statement

St John’s, ANTIGUA – Cricket West Indies salutes Dwayne Bravo for his 12 years’ service to West Indies Cricket. This following the all-rounder’s announcement of his retirement from international cricket, yesterday (October 24).
Bravo played 12 years in the WINDIES uniform and has played multiple roles in all three formats and was also captain. During his tenure, he was considered one of the most exciting players.
He has the record of having the best bowling strike rate, 32.7 for any WINDIES players in ODIs in his 164 matches. He took 199 wickets and made 5,874 runs in that format.
Bravo made his international debut against England in ODI in Guyana in April 2004 and played his last T20I in September 2016 against Pakistan in Dubai.
He also has 40 Tests and 66 T20Is to his credit.
As a game-changing all-rounder, Bravo has racked some impressive achievements.
Batting:
Highest Test Score 113
Highest ODI Score 112*
Bowling
86 Test wickets at an economy rate of just 3.17
199 ODI wickets at an average of 29.51
52 T20I wickets
Director of Cricket, Jimmy Adams, in his tribute, says “Dwayne has been an outstanding performer across all three formats of the game. He has consistently added value to all levels of West Indies Cricket with his high level of all-round skill combined with an infectious energy and enthusiasm for the game”
CEO, Johnny Grave says, “On behalf of Cricket West Indies and cricket fans throughout the region, I would like to pay tribute to Dwayne’s International career and thank him for his outstanding contribution to West Indies Cricket. To have won three ICC Global events is a remarkable achievement and will live long in the memories of all West Indies supporters. We hope that Dwayne can continue to contribute to Trinidad and West Indies cricket in the future.”
Bravo remains on the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force squad for the Super50 Cup semis and final this weekend. The Red Force will go up against the CCC Marooners in the second semi-final on Friday (October 26) at the Kensington Oval.
Dwayne captained his team, Trinbago Knight Riders for back to back Caribbean Premier League titles this September.

PRESIDENT SKERRITT WELCOMES DWAYNE BRAVO'S AVAILABILITY FOR T20I CRICKET
ST. JOHN’S, Antigua - Dwayne Bravo’s announcement that he has ended his retirement from International Twenty 20 cricket has been welcomed by Ricky Skerritt, President of Cricket West Indies. Today, Bravo said that he will be available for West Indies selection, in 2020, the year of the next ICC T20 World Cup in Australia.
According to President Skerritt:
“Bravo has the performance track record that should never have been lost from the West Indies cricket talent pool. One of the reasons Dr. Shallow and myself sought the Presidency was to review the team selection policy to become completely inclusive, and to ensure that selection is based strictly on merit and performance readiness. Bravo’s return reminds us what a negative impact politics and pettiness has had on our cricket. The possibility that Bravo, a former West Indies captain, can again be a fierce and formidable all-rounder in his maroon colors, is a welcomed possibility.”
CWI’s Director of Cricket, Jimmy Adams expressed his pleasure at Dwayne’s return for possible selection to International T20 cricket.
“I am pleased that Dwayne is making himself available for selection for T20 cricket. His considerable experience and proven ability will strengthen the pool of players from which CWI will be able to choose their squads whilst also providing increased competition for places.”
This news of Bravo’s availability will undoubtedly excite many West Indies fans both here in the Caribbean and around the world where they will wait to see if he can add to the 66 T20I appearances he made in his career where he has scored 1,142 runs and taken 52 wickets taken since his first T20I match in 2006. His last game for the West Indies was against Pakistan in September 2016.
Following the announcement of the new CWI international selection policy in September 2019, selection for West Indies squads is open to all players based on form and performance, fitness, team balance, mental capacity, technical ability, and commitment. All players, once eligible and deemed ready by the selection panel will have a fair chance at selection to the men’s, women’s and youth West Indies teams.

West Indies star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who last played a T20I in 2016, is excited to be back in national colours for the three-match T20I series against Ireland.
"It's a great feeling," Bravo said in a radio interview with Trinidad's I955 FM. "I feel like a kid again when I first get a call from [West Indies' chairman of selectors Roger Harper] that welcome back to the team and play international cricket and they were looking forward to have me back.
"It is something that was always on my mind since the change of leadership and stuff. So just happy I get the opportunity to represent the region again and I am looking forward to doing my best."
Bravo announced his retirement from international cricket in October 2018 but continued playing franchise cricket. Later, in December 2019, he came out of T20I retirement to make himself available for selection in the lead up to the 2020 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which will take place in October-November.
The all-rounder believes that West Indies lack a proper death-overs specialist and he could be his side's go-to man to take up that responsibility.
"Recently that is where West Indies did falter," Bravo said. "If you look at the 50-overs World Cup, if you look at the series in India, both in T20Is and in ODIs, we lack a really, really proper death-overs specialist.
"Again this is my motivation also to try and work with current bowlers. There's [Sheldon] Cottrell, there's Keemo Paul, there's Alzarri Joseph, there's Oshane Thomas, there's Kesrick Williams. Collectively all of us have to get better, myself included. But with the experience that I have, I can get them to understand the importance of certain deliveries and when to bowl certain deliveries and work on a better finishing game plan."
On the prospect of sealing a spot in West Indies' T20 World Cup squad, Bravo said he's not thinking too far ahead. "There's this series and there's a Sri Lanka series right after, he said. "I guess if I do well in this series, chances are I might be selected for the next series. It is just a matter of playing it by ear, series by series.
"Obviously they will be trying players to see what is the best combination and the best squad they that they think and select come October. Starting off with Ireland series is just one step to something positive in the making."

Andre Russell is perhaps the most valuable player in T20 cricket and his West Indies colleague Dwayne Bravo has compared him to Chris Gayle and Brian Lara owing to the match-winning qualities he brings to the table. “He’s the best in the world,” Bravo, who was part of the West Indies side, said in praise of Russell in a chat with Trinidad-based radio station I955 FM on Friday. “It’s the same I used to say of Chris Gayle when Chris Gayle was in his prime - we are happy to have him representing us, we didn’t have to come up and bowl against him in an international match. It’s the same with Andre Russell. Andre Russell now is our Chris Gayle, is our Brian Lara, in the T20 format. He is the superstar.”
Bravo also mentioned that the team management acknowledged the fact that there was a lot of work which needed to put in to make the side a formidable force to reckon with at the upcoming T20 World Cup. Captain Kieron Pollard and coach Phil Simmons wants the side to go through the grind if they have to defend their title in Australia later this year.
“Prior to that [T20I series in Sri Lanka], we weren’t really consistent as a team over the years in T20 cricket,” Bravo said. “With the 3-0 loss in the ODI series, we T20 guys had a chat among ourselves along with the management and made a pledge that we want to start back winning series. We said we wanted to be back being the most dominant team in the T20 format.
“We have produced some of the best players in the world and when we are together in the same team, we have to stamp our authority, and to get the cricketing world to respect West Indies cricket again and especially West Indies’ T20 team. We said, ‘All hands on deck, let’s start with this Sri Lanka series and make sure we send the message.’ Yeah, that’s what we did.”

West Indies player Dwayne Bravo says he is more interested in seeing the back of the novel coronavirus than he is about playing franchise cricket at the moment.
For a number of weeks, sport has been at a global standstill due to the health risk posed by the spread of the virus.
With organisers' hands shackled by the pandemic, a number of domestic cricket leagues have confirmed either changes to schedules or suspended all play, and declared winners of their respective trophies.
The highly lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL), the biggest of all franchise-based Twenty20 (T20) competitions, was slated to begin March 29, but for now it is indefinitely postponed.
“There are so many [people] away from their own families, can't see them; and people losing their lives and jobs. This is more than just playing the IPL tournament. I would like to see the world get back at ease,” Trinidadian Bravo said during an expansive telephone interview with the Jamaica Observer recently.
The 36-year-old Bravo, a game changer as a batsman, bowler and fielder throughout his career, has represented the regional team in 71 T20 Internationals – claiming 59 wickets and tallying 1151 runs. Overall, he has played 455 T20 matches, second only to West Indies white-ball cricket Captain Kieron Pollard, who has featured in 501.
For years Bravo has been among the main attractions in a sea of international stars to flock to the IPL.
“At the end of the day, it is something no one has control over. Whether IPL plays or not, I don't have control over it. The world will have to wait and see whenever [international] borders open back,” the 36-year-old all-rounder stressed.
The former West Indies skipper added: “The IPL is one thing, but you can't fly. So, for example, I love Jamaica but I can't even come to Jamaica now, so I'm more concerned about people's lives coming back to normal. So it's not about playing IPL, it's about people being able to fly again.”
The Caribbean Premier League T20, slated to run from August to September, could be affected.
The International Cricket Council T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place from October to November in seven venues across Australia, is also under the microscope.
If all goes according to plan, Bravo, who only recently exited retirement, said the West Indies, the two-time world T20 champions and current holders of the title, will be a major force to be reckoned with.
“We are looking forward to it just like every other World Cup. I guess the difference with this one is that other World Cups people in different parts of the world seemed to kind of write off West Indies and don't see them as favourites.
“We have proven ourselves on two different occasions, so I think the one in Australia…some people will give us tag of favourites because of what we've done in the past. We don't take it lightly; we'll play to our strong points. It's our strongest format and we'll go out there to try to defend our title,” he said.
In recent years West Indies have endured inconsistent T20 results despite most of their players becoming household names in the format. Last November they lost 1-2 to Afghanistan in the T20 International series staged in India.
Another 1-2 defeat followed immediately against hosts India. In January this year in the Caribbean, they bounced back in the final game to level the three-match T20 series against unfancied Ireland 1-1. The second match was rained off.
However, highlighted by typically audacious hitting from another returning veteran, Andre Russell, West Indies thumped home team Sri Lanka 2-0 in early March.
Bravo, who had previously championed Russell's value to the West Indies team, reiterated the Jamaican's match-winning capacity.
“When you have someone who can bowl 140 plus [kilometre per hour] consistently, he's one of the cleanest hitters of a cricket ball – brilliant in the field – so he is a complete player. T20 cricket is designed for someone like Russell, like myself, [and] Pollard– and that's why we have so much success.
“If you look at the last two, three years, Russell has definitely separated himself from everyone else, including the likes of [England player Ben] Stokes and these guys,” he explained.
Russell, named the leading T20 cricketer in 2019 by the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, and for years among the most sought after players in T20 franchise cricket, has played 321 matches in the format.
Before the series against Ireland, Bravo had not donned the maroon kit of the West Indies since playing against Pakistan in 2016.
Though still featuring in franchise leagues around the globe, he announced his retirement from international cricket in October 2018. But last December he confirmed his intent to return to the international fold.
“[It is] always a joy to play for West Indies. At the end of the day it's our childhood dream as professional cricketers to represent the West Indies and the Caribbean people.
“My second stint, obviously, I come back as a more senior player, a more mature player all-round. I see myself as a father figure to this group of players,” he told the Observer.
While West Indies underperformed against Ireland, Bravo said the win against Sri Lanka was a statement to all their rivals.
“We had to send a strong message to the world, not only to the Sri Lanka team. We had to send the message that a West Indies team [at] full strength is not a joke team. The rest of the world now has to sit up and start respecting West Indies again,” he said.

Trinbago Knight Riders all-rounder Dwayne Bravo on Wednesday became the first bowler to pick 500 wickets in Twenty20 cricket.
Bravo had a wicket each in his last two appearances against Guyana Amazon Warriors and Jamaica Tallawahs. He reached the mark when he dismissed St. Lucia Zouks' Rahkeem Cornwall on Wednesday.
Bravo's variations and his control of the slower ball has made him a potent force in the shortest format. Bravo topped the wickets tally in the 2009 Champions League T20, the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2013 and 2015, the CPL 2015 and in 2016, the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) in 2016-17, and the Big Bash League (BBL) in 2017-18.
Bravo has already led Trinbago to three CPL titles and will be instrumental in the team's title bid this season. The former West Indies captain came out of international retirement, making himself available for selection in the West Indies T20I side, while confirming that he didn't want to play any other format.
Bravo had called time on his international career in October 2018, and turned his focus to playing franchise T20 cricket around the world. Last year, he was briefly sidelined from the 2019 IPL with Chennai Super Kings due to a hamstring injury and missed the entire CPL because of a broken finger.

I thought he was done with international cricket.
Can West Indies afford to have him now? West Indies seem pretty settled.

Chennai Super Kings are struggling with the form and fitness of its players. In a latest blow to their IPL 2020 campaign, the three-time winners are staring at the prospect of missing the services of Dwayne Bravo for up to couple of weeks but they will not be seeking a replacement even if the allrounder is ruled out of the remaining season.
CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan says the idea of replacement isn’t practical at the halfway stage of the tournament since a new player will have to follow the quarantine period before joining the rest of the squad.
“I don’t think a replacement is an option at this stage because if a new person comes in, it will again be about having a quarantine period for him before he can join the rest of the squad. It is unlikely that we will look at a replacement for Bravo if he is out. But firstly we are hoping Bravo isn’t out and the injury isn’t major,” Viswanathan told news agency ANI.
“We will get the reports by today (Sunday) evening and then the team management will have a fair idea with regards to the extent of Bravo’s injury. As of now, I can only say that it can either be a couple of games or a couple of weeks,” he added.
Bravo hurt his groin as he walked out of CSK’s game against Delhi Capitals on Saturday. His absence was sorely missed by captain MS Dhoni in the death overs that forced him to hand the ball to Ravindra Jadeja for the final over in which DC needed 17 but got over the line with three sixes.
“Bravo was not fit, he went out and was really not able to come back. That was the reason we had to bowl (Jadeja). The option was between Karn and Jaddu so I went ahead with Jaddu,” Dhoni had explained the logic behind bowling a spinner.
CSK coach Stephen Fleming rued the untimely injury to Bravo which impacted their death over bowling.
“Unfortunately Dwayne Bravo got injured so he could not bowl the last over, naturally he is a death bowler, that’s the way our season has been going, we are having challenges thrown at us. Jadeja was not planned to bowl at the death, but with Bravo getting injured, we did not have any other option. We did well to create a situation where it could have worked for us but we have to keep working hard and turn it around,” Fleming had said at a post-match interaction.
He continued, “He seems to have a right groin injury, obviously it was serious enough to keep him from coming back to the field, he is just really disappointed that he was not able to bowl the final over, that’s pretty much for what he is in the team for. He would have to be reassessed going forward, at this stage, you would imagine that it would take a few days or a couple of weeks.”

Chennai Super Kings star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo gets ruled out of the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League due to a groin injury. This is another massive blow to the already struggling CSK side which has very slim chances of advancing to the playoffs this season. Bravo, an integral part of the three-time champions Chennai for years now, couldn’t bowl the final over against Delhi Capitals in a match in Sharjah on October 17.
With Bravo unable to bowl his final over versus Delhi, who needed 17 to win, Chennai captain MS Dhoni went to Ravindra Jadeja. However, the left-arm Jadeja conceded 6, 6, 2, 6 to Axar Patel off what turned out to be the last four balls of the match. “Dwayne Bravo is ruled out of the IPL due to a groin injury,” CSK CEO Kashi Viswanathan was quoted by PTI.
The 37-year-old Bravo missed the start of the season with a knee injury that he sustained during the Caribbean Premier League. He has since featured in six of the CSK out of the ten matches, taking six wickets while returning an economy rate of 8.57.
He has batted only twice down the order, scoring seven runs for the yellow army.
CSK’s campaign has already been derailed after seven losses from 10 games. They are currently lying at the bottom of the IPL 2020 points table.
Chennai Super Kings were already hamstrung by absence of senior players Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh, both of whom pulled out citing personal reasons.
The poor form of some of the senior players including skipper Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav has also hurt their cause.

I hope CSK don't retain him. He is 37, picks up a lot of injuries. He has really declined with the bat and his fielding standards have dropped. He has done a lot for CSK but it's time to move on to someone younger.

West Indies coach Phil Simmons has admitted concern for the recent spate of injuries suffered by veteran T20 star Dwayne Bravo but insists the player remains in consideration for next year’s World Cup squad once fit and available.
The 37-year-old Bravo, who recently set the milestone of claiming 500 T20 wickets in this season’s Caribbean Premier League (CPL), picked up a knee injury that delayed the start of his India Premier League (IPL) campaign. Bravo started the IPL four games late but found himself sidelined a few games later, this time with a groin injury.
The injury led to Bravo being ruled out of the team’s tour to New Zealand. The player’s previous CPL season had also been hampered after he suffered a broken finger. While admitting it is a source of concern, Simmons has assured the player will remain in the minds of the selectors once he can recover sufficiently.
“It’s a concern because he was injured in CPL and now he’s injured in IPL,” Simmons told members of the media via a Zoom press conference call from the team’s training camp in New Zealand.
“There’s a break now, so he will go home and do what is necessary for him to be fit enough to play and there are a few series and also another IPL before the World Cup. So, there’s a lot of chance for him to go and get himself fit and we will see what his fitness is like heading into the tournament.”

Shimron Hetmyer and Dwayne Bravo’s fourth-wicket stand helped the hosts West Indies register a 56-run win over Australia in the second T20 international at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia on Saturday.
Hetmyer scored 61 off just 36 deliveries while Bravo hit an unbeaten 47 (34).
The main highlight of Bravo’s brilliant knock was him thumping the Aussie all-rounder Ashton Agar for a maximum over the deep square leg region with which the Men in Maroon also surpassed the 100-run mark.

Dwayne Bravo, the two-time Twenty20 World Champion, announced today’s match against Pakistan in Guyana will be his last international match on home soil. He made the disclosure to his teammates in the team huddle and via CWI social media ahead of the start of the fourth and final contest in the Osaka Batteries Presents PSO Carient T20 Cup at the Guyana National Stadium.
Bravo has been a lion-hearted competitor for West Indies from the very start of his career. The highlights of his T20I career are the two World Cup wins – in 2012 on his birthday against Sri Lanka in Colombo, and in 2016 against England in Kolkata. He is one of the greatest performers in the shortest format, and his bowling at the death is superb.
As a clever right-arm seam bowler he has excelled and is the leading wicket-taker for West Indies with 76 wickets in 85 matches. His best figures are 4-19 which came last month against South Africa at the Grenada National Stadium.
In the West Indies, Bravo has made 138 international appearances – 15 in Tests, 93 in One-Day Internationals and 40 in T20 Internationals.
