Raina needs a break before SA Tests, says a concerned Dhoni-
The national selectors don't think Suresh Raina needs rest, but M.S. Dhoni continues to insist he does. The captain had said this one day before the squad for the first two ODIs was picked and repeated it on Tuesday, when asked about the lack of runs from the left-hander in this series.
"Raina really needs a break, because he has played as many series as I have, like many other cricketers have. Plus, he played one more in Zimbabwe. International cricket drains you. More than physical, it's the mental part. Unfortunately, many of the senior players are getting rest, but he will have to continue. A break of 10-15 days break will definitely help him get back into the groove," said Dhoni. :woohoo:

Maybe as a co-player and capital he understand what Raina is facing..
When such opinions comes from captain or a fellow player it becomes a controversy.Why Raina himself ask it?
raina is playing better then dhoni.......... dohni is not at all playing in any of the matches....... he is waste......... better to remove him from the team.....
Players do get jaded after playing for a long time and Dhoni has made a sensible suggestion!
I think dhoni would have stated this for the sake for his fellow mate Raina. :) :)
In one day cricket it is the day that determines the form of player.So no need to keep away any one.
