“It has been an absolute honour to represent my country & state UP. I would like to announce my retirement from all formats of cricket,” Suresh Raina posted on Twitter on Tuesday.

I have already taken my No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA). I have informed BCCI secretary Jay Shah and vice-president Rajiv Shukla about my decision.
