Actually with Raina it could be that other mess he is in right now. About not taking money from some corporate or whatever it was.
You are right about Dhoni though. Including the Bdesh test, India play 10 tests till the end of the year. That is a lot of test cricket. Not sure how many ODIs they play, but Even if they play 10 ODIs, they are unlikely to be even half as hectic as 10 tests.
The ODI players should have continued. If nothing else, the likes of Aaron could have gotten a run in the ODI side. Int'l cricket is Int'l cricket,and something ppl like Aaron could learn from.
