Bengaluru: After a two-month break that included intense training in Amsterdam, India batsman Suresh Raina is excited to play under coach Rahul Dravid in the forthcoming three unofficial ODIs against Bangladesh ‘A’. “It will be good practice and I can’t actually say practice because we have lost a series to Bangladesh. India A have done well in the last couple of series under Rahul Dravid who is our coach, I’m very excited to play under him,” said Raina.
The 28-year-old began preparations for the South Africa series playing club cricket and trained with the Dutch national team in Amsterdam last month. “We need to play games, we haven’t played much after the Bangladesh series. For practice, I’ve played club cricket. It’s a big opportunity and I’m very positive,” said the Ghaziabad-born Raina.
The stylish left-hander is focusing on ODIs. “I’m looking forward to playing the one-dayers and ready the first-class season ahead. It’s a good three quality international games. We need to go out there play really well and be disciplined,” he added.
