Suresh Raina is unlikely to return to UAE and re-join Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 after his name was removed from the squad list for IPL 2020 in CSK’s official website. Raina had returned to India weeks before the start of IPL 2020 due to personal reasons and although speculations were rife that the veteran batsman might return to UAE and re-join the CSK squad for the remainder of IPL 2020, the chances of that happening look very slim now. Raina’s name was removed from CSK’s full squad list for IPL 2020 in the official website. Suresh Raina Unfollowed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Twitter?

Raina has left UAE just a week after his arrival with the remainder of the squad for pre-season camp before the start of the tournament. Although he has not revealed the reason behind the decision to return to India, reports have circulated in the media that he had a confrontation with the CSK team management over his hotel room.
