India vs New Zealand 2017: 5 things we learnt from India's squad announcement

#4 End of the road for Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina?

Two of the most anticipated things among the fans, before the selectors sit down to pick an Indian limited-overs side, are the inclusion of out-of-favour batsmen Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina.

Raina last played for India in an ODI in 2015 while Yuvraj's last match for the men in Blue came against West Indies earlier this year. Ever since making a comeback to the Indian side in January, Yuvraj has been decent, as he scored a match-winning 150 against England and followed it up with a fifty against Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy.

But, the dashing southpaw has been out of the Indian team for a while as he failed to pass the fitness test, something that is the reason behind Raina's exclusion as well. Both the batsmen have been giving the Yo-Yo Test quite regularly and are struggling to come out in flying colours. At the same time, they are not making a case for themselves with the bat.

Fitness or form, one thing is certain- Yuvraj and Raina's ODI journey has been halted, at least for a while.
