One of the most prolific batsmen in IPL history, Suresh Raina has decided to retire from the Indian T20 league and other domestic tournaments in the country. It is reported that he is now planning to play in the UAE and South African T20 leagues. Suresh Raina, one of the legends of the Indian Premier League (IPL), is said to be leaving India T20 League and playing cricket in other countries. Raina, one of the highest run-scorers in IPL history, remained unsold in the 2022 mega auction despite an increase in the number of teams from 8 to 10.
Raina has spoken to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) about retiring from the IPL. In fact, Raina has already decided not to play domestic cricket for his state and has taken NOC from the UPCA. “I want to play cricket for 2-3 more years, now there are many good players in Uttar Pradesh domestic team and they are doing well. I have got NOC from UPCA. I have also conveyed my decision to BCCI Secretary Jai Shah and Rajiv Shukla. To BCCI and UPCA who have supported me throughout my career. I want to thank you.

I am looking forward to playing in different leagues around the world. I will be participating in the Road Safety World Series starting on September 10th. Owners from South Africa, Sri Lanka and UAE have approached me so far. Once the situation is settled, I myself will inform everyone,” Raina said. Raina is one of the biggest names in IPL history. He is the 5th highest scorer in IPL history. Although Raina has already retired from international cricket, as per BCCI rules, he is still not eligible to play in overseas T20 leagues.
He will also have to retire from the IPL to play in private leagues outside the country. Many IPL owners like Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad have bought teams in UAE and South African leagues. Raina, who has been a CSK player for a long time, will not be surprised if he is called up to the Super Kings in the South African league.
