SANTA CRUZ: Former West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has retired from professional cricket after 21 years and joined IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders as a mentor.

The 40-year-old suffered a groin injury earlier this week that prematurely ended his participation in the CPL.

Kolkata announced his appointment as the mentor in a social media post on Friday.
