New Delhi. Fast bowler Ashok Dinda, who was left out for disciplinary reasons during the Ranji Trophy season last year, described himself as a victim of Bengal cricket politics. He said that he will make a strong comeback this season with a new team. Dinda, the highest wicket-taker for Bengal after Utpal Chatterjee, was dropped from the team after a fierce clash with bowling coach Ranadeb Bose.
Bengal overtook the controversy to advance to the finals and finished runners-up. Dinda told that he was in talks with some of the teams and that he would soon apply for a No Objection Certificate with the Bengal Cricket Association (CAB). Dinda, who now took 420 wickets in 116 first-class matches, said, “I will not be part of the Bengal team, that’s for sure.” I made this decision only in the last session. This is my personal issue. ‘
Dinda, who played 13 ODIs and nine T20 internationals for India, said, “I will play for any other state. Discussions are going on with some of my teams but I have not decided yet which team I will represent in the next season.
Dinda is accused of using abusive words for Bengal bowling coach Bose. Bose is a former Bengal fast bowler who took 317 wickets in 91 matches. Dinda refused to apologize and was also accused of creating differences within the team. He said, ‘I am not happy to play here with this coaching staff. The way I was treated. I do not want to say anything. I gave my best to them and now I have no use. This world is selfish. ‘
