Former India spinner Pragyan Ojha yesterday said he's seeking a transfer from Bengal after a two-season stint to return to his home team Hyderabad for the upcoming domestic season.
Terming it a personal decision, the left-arm spinner said he's written to the Cricket Association of Bengal yesterday seeking an NOC and also informed his decision to its president Sourav Ganguly personally.
"I'm excited to return to my home side, we are back in Elite group and looking forward to do well by giving that extra bit as an experienced cricketer," said the 30-year-old. "The target will definitely come into mind but at the moment I want to do well and even contribute with the bat and be one of the main members of the team. We have a few youngsters who have been doing well," he said.
Ojha last played a Test in 2013 in Sachin Tendulkar's farewell match and took a 10-wicket haul but only to be ignored by the selectors. With Hyderabad relegated to group C, he switched allegiance to Bengal in 2015-16 to get better chances of making a comeback and claimed 36 wickets from nine matches, their joint highest with pacer Ashok Dinda.
