Dubai: Ajay Sethi, owner of West Champions, hosted a post-birthday celebration for former West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo at his residence in Dubai. The event, held following Bravo’s birthday on October 7, was attended by several prominent West Indies cricketers and former players.

Among the guests were Caribbean cricket stars including Chris Gayle, Carlos Brathwaite, Lendl Simmons, Sheldon Cottrell, Fidel Edwards, Chadwick Walton, Jermaine Blackwood, Raymon Reifer, Rayad Emrit, Nikita Miller, and Suleiman Benn. The gathering brought together many familiar faces from West Indies cricket, with the players joining Sethi in honouring Bravo.

Dwayne Bravo is regarded as one of the most recognisable names in T20 cricket, enjoying a distinguished career across international cricket and franchise leagues worldwide. Known for his skill and flair with both bat and ball, Bravo is considered one of the pioneers of T20 cricket.

He featured in seven T20 World Cups, winning two titles with the West Indies, and secured more than 15 trophies across various franchise leagues. Additionally, Bravo became the first bowler to reach 500 wickets in T20 cricket.

In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Bravo was a key member of the Chennai Super Kings squad, finishing as the tournament’s leading wicket-taker in 2013 and 2015. He also topped the wicket charts in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in 2015 and 2016, and in the Big Bash League (BBL) during the 2017-18 season.

Bravo initially announced his retirement from international cricket in October 2018 but reversed the decision over a year later to assist the West Indies in defending their T20 World Cup title. Following the team’s early exit from the tournament, he retired from international cricket once again at the age of 38.
