NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Former India all-rounder Suresh Raina has joined ex-skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni in quitting international cricket, the 33-year-old said in a statement on Sunday. Minutes after Dhoni announced his retirement on Instagram on Saturday, Raina posted a message on the same platform, saying "With my heart full of pride, I choose to join you in this journey." The Indian cricket board issued a statement on Saturday confirming Dhoni's retirement but there was no official word on Raina. "With a lot of mixed feelings, I'm able to make this announcement of my retirement," Raina, who made his India debut in a one-day match in Sri Lanka in 2005, said on Sunday. Raina played 226 ODIs for India, his last being in 2018 in England.
