'He didn't speak to me', Suresh Raina hits back at MSK Prasad

Suresh Raina has hit back at the former BCCI chief selector MSK Prasad who recently said that it was Suresh Raina's poor form that axed the player from the team India. He also said that he spoke to Raina about the future roadmap to comeback in the team and the player was agreed to his plan.

Speaking to PTI, MSK Prasad had said, “See VVS Laxman, when he was dropped from the Indian Test squad in 1999, he forced himself back by scoring over 1400 runs in domestic cricket. This is what is expected from senior players when they are dropped,”



“I had personally spoken to Raina calling him to my room and explained him the roadmap for his future comebacks. He had, back then, appreciated my efforts,” Prasad had said.

However, Suresh Raina in a live chat session with Irfan Pathan on Saturday has hit back at MSK Prasad and said he never spoke to him at all.

“MSK Prasad said that I under-performed and also stated that he spoke to me about my axing, but he didn’t speak to me at all. When my time comes, I will play", Raina said during a chat with Irfan Pathan.

It has been almost two years since Suresh Raina played his last international match. It was an ODI match against England at Headingley, Leeds on July 17, 2018. However, Raina couldn't make an impact as he scored only 1 run in that match before axing from the team.
