Debut
Seeing his growing stature and consistent performances in first-class cricket he was grouped into the National squad for the tour of Zimbabwe in October 2011.
Bracewell made a thunderous start to his International career. A series of injuries to other bowlers in New Zealand led Bracewell to make his Test debut against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo and he was impressive immediately ah he took a 5-wicket haul in the second innings.
He was picked for the first match of the ODI series against West Indies.

That spell against Australia earned him his career best figures of 6/40 and helped New Zealand win a Test in Australia after 26 years.
