BCCI annual contracts: Read why Suresh Raina was dropped from the list by Indian board
According to reports, the 30-year-old is now considered a "reluctant cricketer", apparently more focused on his family and setting up his own business.
Uttar Pradesh coach claimed that since his marriage in 2015, the all-rounder has shifted his priorities, and cricket has become a pastime.
"His priorities have changed after he became a family man. I have noticed that he has not been concentrating on his game. He has become a reluctant cricketer. He just played three Ranji matches for UP this season and didn't turn out for Mushtaq Ali and Vijay Hazare tournaments," Mid-day quoted the coach as saying on Thursday.
