His most recent international appearance came at Test level against Sri Lanka in Wellington in 2023, with a recent rib injury forcing Bracewell to finish up with domestic side Central Districts in New Zealand.
“It’s been a proud part of my life, and something I aspired to as a young cricketer,” Bracewell said via a statement from Central Districts.
“I will always be grateful for the opportunities I have had through cricket, and the chance to play for my country, as well as for Central Districts, throughout my domestic career.
“It’s a privilege to play first-class and international cricket, and I’m grateful to have played and enjoyed the game for as long as I have.”
Bracewell’s father Brendon and uncle John both played Test cricket for New Zealand, while cousin Michael is still in the Black Caps’ setup.
