Bravo, had announced that the ongoing T20 World Cup would be his last tournament with West Indies, and the defending champions' campaign ended with an eight-wicket defeat to Australia on Saturday.
"I will continue playing franchise cricket for a few more years as long as my body will allow me to," Bravo said after the game at Abu Dhabi. "My aim was to retire a few years ago, but with a change of presidency (at CWI) and change of leadership comes a change of heart, and I wanted to give back to West Indies because I was still in a good place physically and enjoy my cricket."
Bravo who made his International debut in 2004, represented the West Indies in 91 T20, apart from 40 Tests and ODIs. In the same span, he played T20 leagues across the world to stamp his name as one of the finest to have played the format, and his record of 16 different T20 League titles.
"I had a brief chat with Pollard and said I would like to come back and play in the shortest format, which is my specialty," Bravo said. "And they gave me the opportunity to play again, and I'm very grateful for that.
"I'm very happy to have someone like that that I can call as a friend, not just a teammate, but a friend," Bravo said of Pollard. "He's one of the main reasons why I also came out every time to give my best chance to see if we could push for another World Cup title, but it wasn't to be. But I'm still very happy with the way how he led West Indies cricket in the last two years. West Indies needed strong leadership, and he's a strong leader. We know this World Cup wasn't meant to be, but I know as an individual, he will bounce back strong with his character, and I'm very happy that I was able to be a part of this journey with him."
“Definitely you will see me around. Like I said, cricket has given me everything. Cricket has given me the life I always wanted for myself and my family. So, I think it’s only fair that I love to give back to the game that has given me so much. Again, I keep encouraging myself because of the talent I see coming through in West Indies, and whatever team I play for around the world, so definitely you will see me involved.”
