Dwayne Bravo might have asserted that his international career is almost over, but that has not stopped the contentious Trinidadian from scripting new records in T20s.

This was after Bravo picked up a five-wicket haul for the Melbourne Renegades during the Big Bash League and became the first bowler to scalp 400 wickets in T20 cricket.

Courtesy of Bravo’s five-wicket haul the Renegades managed to restrict the Hurricanes to 165. He was particularly impressive in the slog overs where he picked up three wickets and reached the huge milestone. However, despite his string of good performances, Bravo has ruled out a return to the national side.

Talking to the reporters after achieving teh feat, Bravo said, “I was dropped while I was fit. I don’t think now, at 34, it would make any sense coming back. I just need to see what is left for me, for my fans to see Dwayne Bravo playing cricket. That is my priority.”

But Dwayne did reveal his approach of playing his trade in the shortest format (league tournaments) all around the world. He said, “I am looking at these tournaments as a chance to continue playing cricket. As long as I can play cricket, I am happy.”

Bravo announced his Test retirement in 2015, concentrating solely on the shorter formats.

Brief scores:

Melbourne Renegades: 3 for 165 (White 79*, Harris 50, Archer 2-17) beat Hobart Hurricanes: 8 for 164 (McDermott 34, Short 34, Bravo 5-28) by 7 wickets
