Ashok Dinda Keen To Open Academy With The Name Of ‘Dinda Academy Of Pace Bowling’

Veteran fast bowler Ashok Dinda, who recently announced his retirement on February 2 (Tuesday) from all forms of cricket, is planning to open a sports academy by the name ‘Dinda Academy of Pace Bowling.’ Incidentally, Dinda has been an ardent servant of Bengal cricket leading their pace battery for almost a decade.

The cricketer, who came from a very humble background living in Midnapore, finished as Bengal’s second-highest wicket-taker in first-class cricket with 420 scalps to his name and topped the bowling charts for his team for several seasons. He also has played 13 ODI and 9 T20Is for India and has represented 5 IPL teams.

With a lot of time on his side, Ashok Dinda is now planning to open an academy.

Even though I have quit the game, the game will stay with me forever. I will just chill as of now, I have taken a lot of pressure all these years, there’s no headache now, so I will simply relax. And there is a social media page named ‘Dinda Academy of Pace Bowling’, so I am thinking why not open an academy with the same name? It is already famous, so a plan to open ‘Dinda Academy’ is there,” Ashok Dinda told Sportskeeda.

“You can call it a sports academy, where kids can come, stay and learn cricket. All sorts of facilities will be made available to them, and I will also be available 24 hours. I haven’t come to a conclusion yet, but there are a few post-retirement plans in mind. Everybody will get to know in the next couple of months,” Ashok Dinda added.

Moreover, the 36-year-old reveals that players from his district – Medinipur – have found shed at his home in Kolkata whenever they came to the city, something which the Cricket Association of Bengal should have taken care of.
