Wasim Akram, former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashok-c46345 Dinda for the upcoming Asia Cup. Akram believes that Dinda deserved a recall, as he has been bowling magnificently for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy
Elite 2011/12 season.
The former Pakistani cricketer is a great admirer of Dinda’s aggressive nature as a bowler. The legendary pacer likes the way he approaches the stumps and always looks to take wickets.
Terming the selection as justice done, Akram said, “He runs in and I like his attacking attitude as a fast bowler. I think justice is done that his domestic performance has brought him back into the team. He took wickets for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bengal-c771 in one-dayers and he showcases
the firepower that Bengalis are known for.”
Dinda, a right-arm fast bowler, has been recalled into India’s One-Day International team after a span of nearly two years. The 27-year-old made his first ODI appearance in May, 2010 in a match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 at Bulawayo. The pacer failed to make most
of the given chances – taking only three wickets from five games at average of 76. He was ultimately dropped from the ODI side due to his lacklustre performances.
However, the speedster has forced his way back into the side after putting some solid performance for his home side in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy. Dinda finished as the second highest wicket-taker in the series claiming 37 scalps at 20.64 apiece.
Even though, Akram was pleased with Dinda’s selection, the former cricketer failed to understand why the Indian selectors decided to rest Umesh Yadav for Asia Cup. Akram sees a lot of potential in Yadav and the only reasonable explanation he sees in Yadav’s
exclusion is that the Indian selectors only consider him as a Test bowler.
He said, “It is good that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566. But this is not right decision as you cannot expect a 24-year-old
like Umesh to be tired after one series.”
