After initially announcing his retirement from international cricket in October 2018, Bravo came out of retirement in December 2019 in preparation for the 2020 T20 World Cup.

In domestic cricket, Bravo has played for his native Trinidad and Tobago since 2002. He played for a number of other teams in leagues around the world until his retirement in September 2024.[3]
