Pathan revealed that the selectors had declared him 'buddha' at the age of 30 while in other countries players have made their debut in 30, citing the example of Australia's Michael Hussey who is known as Mr. Cricket.
Suresh Raina, who has appeared in 226 ODIs and 78 T20Is apart from 18 Tests, last played for India in July 2018 in England after which he was dropped for good.

In his four-year term, India won a first ever Test series in Australia but a bigger contribution was creating a robust supply line of India A players.
After his tenure with the team, Prasad said that the transition period from MS Dhoni to Virat Kohli was very satisfactory for his team.
Kohli managed scores of 2, 19, 3 and 14 in the two-match away series, averaging only 9.50 - his worst since the horror tour of England in 2014.

Along with MSK Prasad, Gagan Khoda is also likely to be replaced as the pair has completed their term and need to be replaced.
Young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant will be working under a specialist coach, said chief selector MSK Prasad.
This could effectively mean that MSK Prasad-led committee will also select the squad for the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka, starting January 5.
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly announced after the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Mumbai on Sunday that the tenure of the national selectors -- led by M.S.K. Prasad -- is over.
