Suresh Raina – The second name on the list is Suresh Raina, who was once a regular member of the Indian team. His last appearance in ODI’s came in the year 2015. Though he was part of the squad for series against New Zealand series for first three games but was not given a chance. Later, he went onto miss major part of domestic cricket and played only three Ranji games. BCCI took a note of it and dropped Raina from central contract lost announced earlier this year.
In short, nothing has gone Raina’s way but his experience forced BCCI to keep him as a backup player. Surely, if in the case of Indian team need a replacement for Yuvraj, then Raina’s experience will prove to be costly for youngster Rishabh Pant.
