Ready To Play For My New Team: Ashok Dinda
Ashok Dinda said that he is ready to move out of Bangal and ready to play for his new team Goa.
“Of course I miss Bengal. I have given my blood and sweat for the team for 15 years. I don’t think any pacer has done that and I am proud of it. I know I don’t have many more days of cricket left in me, but I never thought that it would end in this manner,” Dinda told Times of India.
He further said that he does not have any issues with the side as a whole but against the team management and administration.
“As professional players, we know how to move ahead. I don’t have anything against Bengal cricket. After all, I played for India riding on my success for Bengal. My grievances are only against the team management,” he added.
