Former India and Chennai Super Kings batter Suresh Raina announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Tuesday.
Raina took to social media while thanking the BCCI, Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association and CSK.
"It has been an absolute honour to represent my country & state UP. I would like to announce my retirement from all formats of cricket," he tweeted.
The southpaw has decided to bid adieu to the IPL and will play in T20 leagues in South Africa, Sri Lanka and UAE. Raina will not play for Uttar Pradesh in the upcoming domestic season.
Raina played his last competitive game in October 2021 when he turned up for CSK against Rajasthan Royals in Abu Dhabi.
Raina represented India in 18 Tests, 226 ODIs and 78 T20Is in an international career spanning 13 years. He mustered 5615 runs from 226 ODIs and 1605 from 78 T20Is for India.
He is also the fourth-highest run-scorer in IPL history with 5,528 runs from 205 games.
