Suresh Raina makes new claims about his exclusion from India’s squad during the Virat Kohli and Anil Kumble era, drawing attention to how selection decisions were made. The former India batter, who has moved out of international cricket, links his experience to the period around the 2019 ODI World Cup.
According to the report, Raina later retired from international cricket in 2020 at age 33. He is also described as having been left out of India’s squad for the 2019 ODI World Cup in England. The coverage focuses on what Raina says about the circumstances behind his ouster, with the emphasis primarily on the selection context rather than on any specific match events.
The sources available here describe the key timeline—his omission for the 2019 tournament and his subsequent retirement—but do not provide additional, fully independent details about other teams’ reactions or official statements from the selectors or team management. As a result, the story centers on Raina’s account and its implications for the Kohli-Kumble period.
