Raina surprised by Australia’s decision not to play practice match

Former Indian batsman Suresh Raina is quite surprised by the Australian team’s decision to go for situational practice instead of playing warm-up matches ahead of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, starting in Nagpur from the first Test on February 9. The Australian team is currently training in Bengaluru and practicing on bouncy pitches and Baroda spinner Mahesh Pithia, whose bowling action resembles Ravichandran Ashwin, has been called in to bowl.

But Raina, one of India’s finest white-ball players, feels the Australian team will miss it. Raina told PTI on the sidelines of the ‘Mission Olympics’ annual day meet organized by the ‘Police Family Welfare Society’, ‘I have played practice matches before the Test and they are really important. They (Australia) can understand Indian pitches only by playing on them. ,

Raina is confident that India will do well in the four-Test series and the return of Ravindra Jadeja will bring in a good balance in the team. He said, “I am happy to have Jadeja back after a long time. “Raina said,” Our spinners R Ashwin, Akshar Patel are doing well. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are in good form and I think we will see a good series.
