The former Indian cricketer Ashok Dinda announced his retirement on 2nd February 2021. The veteran represented India in 13 ODIs and 9 T20Is and picked up 12 and 17 wickets respectively.

Due to his lack of contribution to his team, he warmed the bench on many occasions and finally got ignored by the selectors. Moreover, the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar who showed their best with the ball has also got made it difficult for Dinda to find a place in the team.

After that, the 37-year-old played the domestic format on many occasions and finally announced his retirement from cricket this year. After retirement, we have seen many cricketers who are doing coaching classes and commentary and few have entered into politics.

Likewise, Gautam Gambhir and Navjot Singh Sidhu, the 37-year-old has also turned into a politician by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal.
