Sri Lanka vs India 2017: 5 players who are missing from India's previous ODI series in Sri Lanka

#2. Suresh Raina

Raina was overlooked for the ODI and T20 squads against Sri Lanka

Raina was one of India’s finest players during the series as he scored 174 runs at an impressive average of 58 and an equally impressive strike rate of 118.36. The middle-order batsman continued to be one of India’s most crucial players for the next couple of year where he won the Champions Trophy with India, reached the final of the 2014 World T20 and the semis of the 2015 World Cup and the 2016 World T20.

Following the 2016 World T20, Raina was dropped from the T20 side (having already been out of the ODI team in 2015) but made a comeback to the ODI team for the New Zealand series only to be ruled out due to chikungunya.

Raina did make the T20 team for the series against England earlier this year where he scored a fine 63 in the 3rd T20. Since then, he is yet to feature in the national setup. However, Raina performed well during the IPL and with chairman of selectors stating that he has been rested and not dropped, there is still a chance that Raina could be seen in the Indian team.
