Doug Bracewell retires from all forms of cricket
Former New Zealand all-rounder Doug Bracewell has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket, bringing to a close a noteworthy career that spanned more than a decade. Doug, who last represented the Black Caps in a Test match in 2023, confirmed that he is stepping away from both international and domestic cricket. He made his international debut for New Zealand in 2011 and went on to play across all formats.
"It's been a proud part of my life, and something I aspired to as a young cricketer. I will always be grateful for the opportunities I have had through cricket, and the chance to play for my country, as well as for Central Districts, throughout my domestic career," Bracewell said in a statement as quoted by Central Districts.
"I would like to take this time to acknowledge all the teammates I have played alongside, and the coaches and management who have been on this journey with me, for everything they have done for me.
"It's a privilege to play first-class and international cricket, and I'm grateful to have played and enjoyed the game for as long as I have."
He represented New Zealand in 28 Tests, 21 ODIs, and 20 T20Is. He capped off his career with 120 international wickets and 915 runs across formats.
