Former New Zealand cricketer and commentator Simon Doull has criticised all-rounder Dwayne Bravo for using champion instead of his real name on the jersey. Bravo is currently part of the Winnipeg Hawks in the Global T20 2019 Canada. Interestingly, the former West Indies cricketer’s hit song is titled champion as well. Doull made comments on air during the Winnipeg Hawks vs Toronto Nationals T20 match. Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo Light Up Global T20 Canada 2019 With This Funny Incident, Watch Video

“I know this is going to sound a bit pedantic but I don’t like that at all. I do not like... put your real name! It’s a new tournament. You’re trying to encourage people to know who these players are. Recognise the superstars of the game,” said Doull on air.

“Yes, he might think it’s cool, but put your real name on your shirt so that the young kids, the older fans, the men, the women that come along to watch this game know exactly who that is. That is Dwayne Bravo. It’s not ‘Champion’! Champion of what,” he added. Wahab Riaz, Shadab Khan’s Conversation During Edmonton Royals vs Brampton Wolves Global T20 Canada 2019 Match is Quite Interesting, Watch Video.

Bravo, who has retired from international cricket, is a well-known commodity in the T20 league around the world. In GT20 Canada 2019, Bravo has been doing well for Winnipeg Hawks. In the game against Toronto Nationals, the all-rounder scalped four wickets. Against Vancouver Knights the other day Bravo scored a match-winning unbeaten 36 off just 17 balls. Rodrigo Thomas, Canada Batsman, Breaks Window With a Six During GT20 2019 Match (Watch Video).
