Veteran Pacer Ashok Dinda Calls It A Day Citing Knee Injury
Just 20 days after playing his first game for his new team, Goa, former India, and Bengal pacer Ashok Dinda on Tuesday quit all forms of cricket citing a knee injury. Dinda, who turns 37 in a couple of months, said that age also played a role in his retirement.
"I injured my knee which is why I didn't play the last two matches. My body wasn't permitted. I still have to swell in my knee. I can't run. Also, I am 37. As a fast bowler, 37 is a lot. Otherwise, there is no reason why I should have quit. My body is not permitting," Dinda, played 13 One-day Internationals and nine T20 Internationals told IANS.
