Dwayne Bravo's international career might be over. The 34-year-old doesn't see himself making a comeback for Windies, the allrounder was quoted saying at the T10 League he's currently participating in.

"I was dropped while I was fit. I don't think now, at 34, it would make any sense coming back," Bravo said. "I just need to see what is left for me, for my fans to see Dwayne Bravo playing cricket. That is my priority.

"I am looking at these tournaments as a chance to continue playing cricket. As long as I can play cricket, I am happy. As far as internationals are concerned, I have been dropped from the West Indies team."

Bravo last played for Windies in September 2016 in a Twenty20 International against Pakistan. He hasn't played Tests for over seven years now while his last One-Day International was in Windies's abandoned tour of India in 2014.

Bravo missed the 2017 edition of Indian Premier League owing to injury he sustained in the 2016-17 edition of Big Bash League, but he's back to fitness, having featured in the Caribbean Premier League and Bangladesh Premier League this year.

"I didn't play for nine months. That is a lot. I missed the game and I have to be careful now. Playing BPL, we made it to the semi-finals. Unfortunately we didn't make it all the way through, but I am happy to be playing again."

Bravo is now a part of Maratha Arabians in the T10 League, where he came in as a late replacement for Kumar Sangakkara.
