Suresh Raina said Bhuvneshwar Kumar's recall to the India squad rewards his hard work and domestic consistency.
Former India cricketer Suresh Raina said Bhuvneshwar Kumar's return to the national squad rewards hard work, discipline and consistent domestic performances. Raina congratulated the 36-year-old pacer who earned a comeback for the upcoming five-match T20I series in New Zealand.
Bhuvneshwar last represented India at the 2022 T20 World Cup. Raina said the pacer has shown character at 36 and has worked hard on his body after playing domestic cricket consistently.
Raina also praised the diversity of batting styles among India's top players and said the depth of talent has contributed to the team's consistent performances across formats.

Raina's endorsement shows that selectors are now willing to back players who maintain domestic standards over long periods rather than relying on past reputation alone.
