 In an interview, Suresh Raina voiced: “I was hurt on getting dropped even after performing well. But now I have cleared the Yo-Yo test and feeling so strong. During all these months of hard training, the desire to play for India again grew only so much stronger. I won’t leave it here. I have to play for India for as long as possible. I have to play the 2019 World Cup because I know I have done well in England,”

“There is still a lot left in me and I am extremely confident of doing well in these three games in South Africa,”

He added: “Yes, I am 31 but, as they say it, age is just a number. The other day when my match clothing arrived, I had the same feeling like I got before making my India debut. It is so special,”

Raina clearly set his prospect for the No 4 slot in the team, in the last few matches team Indian tried several players at that spot, player like Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, and Ajinkya Rahane, but Raina believes he can fit to that spot well, and also he thinks a series of good T20 matches can open the door for him in ODI’s.

He concluded: “If you talk about the No 4 slot in the ODIs, it is not an easy one to bat on. Most of the time the team is in a tricky situation when the No 4 comes to bat, especially while chasing. One needs to attack, change the gears constantly. I personally feel that the No 4 and 5 slot suits more to my style of batting,”
