Raina – the most electrifying fielder in India cricket history – who currently remains ignored, is making sure all the major efforts are being put in order to facilitate his return to the Indian national side and aid his preparations for the upcoming Ranji season.

The 30-year-old, who is currently in Amsterdam with his wife Priyanka, last played an ODI for India during the five-match home series against South Africa in 2015. After the series, he was dropped and his only major appearance has been in the 10th season of the Indian Premier League.

It was hoped that the southpaw may be considered for the limited overs series against Sri Lanka which will star in a matter of few days. However, he was overlooked when the squad was announced a few days back.

With the panel of selectors, captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri all voicing strict preference to only the fittest names keeping in mind the 2019 World Cup, Raina, who has always been the one of the most athletic names in the Indian team, has taken the right step by investing more time on raising his fitness standards.

He surely has many chances coming up later this year. India will be hosting Australia in September, in a series that has only limited-overs matches, featuring five ODIs and three T20Is. Thereafter, India will travel to South Africa to play Tests and limited-overs cricket.

“Looking forward to the @upcacricket camp starting tomorrow. Very excited to have @behrooz.9 and @hng.nguyen onboard for training the team and bringing the complete fitness regime from #Amsterdam to all the way in #Kanpur. Thank you so much @rajeevshuklaoffl for having this all organised and making it possible.”
