Will Suresh Raina reunite with CSK Franchise?

Suresh Raina who earlier retired from international cricket on the 15th of  August 2020, has also announced that he will no longer participate in the IPL and won’t play domestic cricket for Uttar Pradesh.

In his international career, Raina played 78 T20Is, 18 Tests, and 226 ODIs. He has scored 5615 runs in 226 ODIs with five centuries and 36 fifties. He smashed 1605 runs in 78 T20Is with a hundred and five half-centuries. The 35-year-old is the first Indian to score hundreds in all three formats of the game.

When it comes to Raina’s IPL journey with CSK, he has been an integral part of the team which has lifted the trophy four times. In the inaugural cricket league to be hosted in South Africa, CSK’s parent company, India Cement has bought the Johannesburg Super Kings team. And Raina might play for the squad and reunite with the CSK franchise.

In an interview with Dainik Jagran, Raina said, ” I want to play cricket for the next two to three years. Now that good players have arrived in Uttar Pradesh, they are managing the team efficiently. I obtained a NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the UPCA.”
