New Zealand all-rounder Doug Bracewell has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket at the age of 35. Bracewell, who played for New Zealand between 2011 and 2023, cited a persistent rib injury as the reason for his decision. His career highlights include a pivotal role in New Zealand's 2011 Test victory over Australia in Hobart. He represented the Blackcaps in 28 Tests, 21 ODIs, and 20 T20Is, taking 120 international wickets.
