Raina announced his international retirement earlier in the year, hours after former skipper MS Dhoni did on 15th August. The southpaw last played a professional game in the final of the 2019 IPL against Mumbai Indians. He was involved in a controversy after he returned from the UAE where the 13th edition of the IPL was slated to happen.
