Dinda had requested the CAB president Avishek Dalmiya to provide him the NOC to play for another state in 2020-21 domestic after being left out of the Bengal team last season following an ugly spat with bowling coach Ranadeb Bose. The 36-year-old is now free to play for another state.
Dalmiya wrote in a letter to Ashoke Dinda: “We would like to hereby accord our concurrence to your request and this letter may kindly be treated as our No Objection Certificate to your playing for another state team in 2020-21 season.”

Noteworthy, Dinda has played 13 ODIs and nine T20Is for India and took 12 and 17 wickets respectively. He is also the second leading wicket-taker for Bengal after Utpal Chatterjee (504) with 420 first-class wickets.
