According to the Indian Express, the middle order batsman has not specified any reason behind his retirement but has informed reporters that he won’t be playing in the IPL either. 

Rayudu also said that he was open to playing in foreign T20 leagues. 

Initially, Rayudu had been named as a reserve player for the Indian squad in the case of any injuries. But instead, when two Indian players actually got injured, Rishabh Pant and Mayank Agarwal were asked to join the team in England. 

In the 50 ODI innings Rauydu has batted in, he has scored 1694 runs at an average of 47.05 with a strike rate of 79.04.
