2. Dwayne Bravo’s Emotional Comeback
Speaking in a press release by WCL, Dwayne Bravo, the global T20 stalwart and one of the most prolific wicket-takers in cricket history, reflected on his return:
“Last time I left cricket, my body wasn’t prepared for what it could handle. Now it’s imperative that with my full attention on returning to T20 cricket, I stay committed and perform well.”
Bravo’s journey in international cricket from 2004 to 2021 was filled with brilliance — known for his lethal death bowling, energetic celebrations, and calm presence under pressure. With 631 wickets in 582 T20 matches, Bravo’s return is bound to bolster West Indies Champions’ chances in WCL 2025.

On Bravo’s return, Pollard shared:
“Hearing Dwayne coming back to play melts my heart. Dwayne is a true champion… he has given back to cricket a lot.”
The duo’s camaraderie, dating back to their early years before franchise cricket exploded, is expected to be a major highlight in WCL Season 2.

The tournament follows a six-team format, including franchises from:

• Pakistan
• England
• Australia
• South Africa
Held in England, considered the spiritual home of cricket, the WCL promises high-octane action infused with the elegance and charisma of legendary cricketers.
6. A Partnership Rekindled: Bravo and Pollard’s Legacy Together
Bravo and Pollard have shared numerous dressing rooms over the years — from West Indies to global franchises like Mumbai Indians, and their understanding on the field is unmatched. Bravo mentioned:
“Me and Kieron have a partnership way before we started playing franchise cricket… the only experience we are going to share now is representing our nation again.”
This partnership, now reignited in WCL, is not just about cricket — it’s a celebration of brotherhood, resilience, and passion for the game.
