TKR Retire Dwayne Bravo’s No. 47 Jersey

Honoring his record CPL wickets, multiple titles, coaching success, the franchise removed No. 47 from circulation to enshrine his legacy.

Overview

  • Trinbago Knight Riders announced Sunday that they will permanently retire Dwayne Bravo’s No. 47 jersey, removing the number from circulation as a formal franchise honour.
  • The club said the decision is the first permanent jersey retirement in Caribbean Premier League history, framing it as an institutional move rather than a one-off ceremony.
  • Bravo finished his CPL playing career with 129 wickets in 107 matches and won five titles as a player before retiring in 2024 and adding a sixth CPL championship as TKR head coach.
  • Video tributes from current and former teammates, including Nicholas Pooran, Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard, highlighted Bravo’s role as a mentor, leader and influential presence in the dressing room.
  • The Knight Riders group described the retirement as a lasting way to enshrine a franchise identity, a gesture that could prompt other CPL teams to formalize how they honour long-serving players.
