Bracewell, who coached Napier Old Boys' Marist and Central Hawke's Bay premier club sides, says he had put 120 overseas players through the academy to compete here at premier, senior and lower grades.
"With more players coming here we had more depth and stronger standards in the club competitions."
HB Today submitted a list of questions to HB Cricket pertaining to Bracewell's allegations as well as requesting details on how many players has its new academy recruited so far this summer, who's drive it was to start the academy and if it was a profit-making entity or a non-profit one to help develop the region's talent.
The paper also asked if Ryder, who is dealing with "a personal issue", is still going to coach at the academy.
HB Cricket Association board of directors issued a statement saying it will not comment on "the baseless questions".
"We are in the business of promoting, developing and growing the sport of cricket for 3800 resident participants in Hawke's Bay and have no time for unwarranted fishing expeditions," it says.
Bracewell says every year his academy players also performed a vital role in bowling balls in the nets to first-class and international teams who came to compete here.
"My boys also helped with the sightscreens and covers and it was a great experience for them," he says, adding the "new regime" at HBCA had let standards slip.
His resources were going to pale in comparison with what HB Cricket had at its disposal.
"They also receive funding through pub charities and trusts. I'm a private business so it's a no-brainer that I can't compete with them."
Bracewell says HBCA advertised its academy a week after he left for Perth where he works for a friend as a furniture removal driver.
He also helps coach at a community cricket club and spotting future talent.
"Napier's a small community so I knew in May that Hawke's Bay Cricket were setting up an academy this year so it was no big secret.
"They did try to do it the year before but that was snuffed out because the guys [academy players] were still coming to me."
About 1-2 per cent of his players were "returnees" while the rest were newcomers.
The last straw, he says, was when the Napier City Council arrived at his property demanding to see resource consents for portable buildings he had established.
"In 2007, when I put them there, resource consents weren't required. Some people are really connected and that's what really pissed me off."
Bracewell says he's keen to try something else after running academies for more than two decades, starting in the Bay of Plenty then moving to Wairarapa.
"Yes, it's extremely disappointing but you just have to take your setbacks and try something different after 20 years. It's time for a new challenge."
Bracewell's son, Doug, is on the Black Caps' tour of United Arab Emirates where they are playing Pakistan although he hasn't made the starting XI yet.
Doug told NZME. he missed the interaction with his father who mentored him most of his career and who he still consults.
Says Bracewell: "Dougie is staunch as. I text him or give him a call so if he wants me he's only a phone-call away."
While Doug has fallen foul of New Zealand Cricket a couple of times he has grown tenfold, staying away from liquor since his drinking episode with Ryder in February this year.
"Dougie's life has always been in order. He was brought up in a rugby culture where he always supports his mates," Bracewell says although he believes characters in any code can enhance the kinship of a collective existence.
Bracewell says his son helped him with academy players when he played in Sussex in his late teens. "I've been a single dad of Dougie since he was about 17 or 18 so we've always been very close."
