Bravo says passion for the game alive
Article by July 2, 2021
West Indies veteran all-rounder Dwayne Bravo insists he still has a lot of love left for the game of cricket and a lot to give to the team heading into the T20 World Cup.
On Thursday, in the fourth T20 international against South Africa, Bravo showed he had plenty of pep left in his step with a handy 4 for 19 at an economy rate of 4.75. The figure represented the first four-wicket haul for the bowler since 2015 and was crucial in the team pulling level in the series. Bravo, however, did not represent the West Indies for a four-year period.

South Africa have lost eight out of the 10 deciders they have played in, only beating New Zealand home and away in 2012. Can they take a turn for the better here?
