Darren Michael Bravo (born 6 February 1989) is a Trinidadian
Career
Bravo made his first team debut for Trinidad and Tobago in January 2007 and scored seven in a one-day match against Guyana.[5] He made his first-class debut three days later against the Leeward Islands and scored eight. After another single figure score in his next match against the Windward Islands, he made no further appearances in the 2006/07 season.[6] He returned to the under-19 team for the TCL Under-19 Challenge and finished the tournament as leading run scorer, in five matches scoring 419 runs at an average of 59.85.[7]
In preparation for the
In October 2008, Bravo was a member of the Trinidad and Tobago squad for the
International breakthrough
In June 2009, Bravo was called up to the West Indies squad for the first two ODIs of the
In February 2011, Bravo was named in West Indies' 15 man squad for the 2011 Cricket World Cup.[25]
The West Indies first engagement after the 2011 World Cup was hosting Pakistan at home. In the two-Test series, Bravo was the only West Indies batsman to score over 100 runs.
He also joined up with English county cricket side Nottinghamshire for the 2011 County Championship season. Bravo went on to average 35.42 for Nottinghampshire with two fifties from four first class games.[31]
Though Bravo was bought by the Deccan Chargers for $100,000 at the 2012 Indian Premier League auction,[32] he missed the competition because it clashed with Australia's tour of the West Indies in March and April 2012. After scoring just 48 runs in the five-match ODI series, Bravo was dropped for the T20Is against the same opponent so he could return to domestic cricket to find form ahead of the Test series.[33] With 184 runs in three Tests, Bravo was the West Indies' second-highest run-scorer in the series behind Shivnarine Chanderpaul and sixth overall.[34]
In December 2013, Bravo scored 218, his maiden test double-century, to help the West Indies to an unlikely draw in the first match of the 2013/14 Test series against New Zealand at the
In January 2015, Bravo was named in West Indies' original 15 man squad for the 2015 Cricket World Cup but he was later forced to withdraw himself from the tournament due to an injury.[40][41]
Bravo's seventh Test hundred came in the first Test of the Australia tour of 2015–16, in Bellerive Oval, Hobart. He scored 108 off 177 balls in the first innings and eventually lost the match by an innings.[42]
Bravo is the first batsman in history to score a Test century in the fourth innings of a Day/Night Test match when he scored 116 against Pakistan in October 2016. He was also the first ever left-handed batsman to have scored a Test hundred in an innings of a Day/Night Test match.[43]
In April 2019, Bravo was named in the West Indies' squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[44][45] He was offered a recall to the Test side for the two match series against England in 2020, but declined the offer to play in a country with high rates of coronavirus with players having to live for weeks in a secure bubble.[46]
On 14 March 2021, against Sri Lanka in the third ODI, Bravo scored his first ODI half-century since June 2016, scoring 102 off 132 deliveries.[47] He also crossed 3000 ODI runs in the match.[48] In September 2021, Bravo was named as one of four reserve players in the West Indies' squad for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[49]
