West Indies Cricket ODI captain, Dwayne Bravo has partnered with a top Chinese Corporate entity and as such becomes the first International Cricketer to have done that.

Bravo, 30 signed a deal with China Harbor, late last week. China Harbor is a construction, engineering and consultancy giant.In doing so the Chinese firm became the first globally ranked Chinese firm to associate with a Cricketer.

China Harbor becomes the official corporate sponsor of the West Indian, and will see him feature in exclusive ad campaigns and will also require him to conduct personal appearances on behalf of the company. This news comes in light of a packed playing schedule for West Indies, in which time they will play against New Zealand in an ODI series, followed by a home series against England and subsequent participation in the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh, where the West Indies will look to defend their title.

“To become the first international and West Indian cricketer to be sponsored by a globally renowned Chinese firm is an incredible honor and a privilege,” said Bravo on the deal.

“The Chinese are by far one of the most powerful nations in the world today, thus their introduction into, and their presence within West Indies cricket, will make a tremendous difference not just for us as cricketers but for the entire Caribbean region. For me to be the first cricketer to be bestowed with such a prestigious partnership is an incredible feeling and I further hope that our affiliation will pave the way for significant ongoing relations and investment between China and the Caribbean, long-term.”

China Harbor regional General Manager had the following words to say on their capture of the T20 superstar.

“China Harbour have a project portfolio worth USD10 billion. Our company is a leader and innovator in our sector. Whilst it is a new concept for us to affiliate with a sporting brand ambassador, we are thrilled by this exciting partnership and look forward to Dwayne Bravo leading our brand and ethos with the same diligence and commitment he displays when representing West Indies Cricket,” said Bo.

“China Harbour already has a substantial presence in the Caribbean, therefore, we are proud to associate our brand with a Caribbean and international superstar, to elongate our ongoing relationship with the Caribbean region and the rest of the world. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with our new ambassador Dwayne Bravo.”
