"For tomorrow's game, we don't have Suresh available," India assistant coach Sanjay Bangar told reporters on the eve of their fifth ODI at the JSCA International Stadium Complex here.
"He is being rested. Everybody else is available for selection from the squad we had in the last match (in Kolkata)," the assistant coach added.
Raina's unavailability would mean that India would now have a 13-member squad and it's quite likely that attacking Maharashtra batsman Kedar Jadhav will make his international debut.
Jadhav, who came into the limelight with a 29-ball 50 for Delhi Daredevils on his IPL debut, was seen having an extended session at the nets today and paying attention to head coach Duncan Fletcher.
Incidentally, the leading wicket-taker in the series, Umesh Yadav did not bowl at the three-hour net session today.
Yadav was seen throwing the 'medicine ball' to strengthen his back muscles and it's likely that the India's pace spearhead may make way for Karnataka seamer R Vinay Kumar in another likely change.
