India’s all-rounder Deepti Sharma has moved on from Bengal ahead of the upcoming domestic season and is expected to play for Uttar Pradesh
Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president Snehasish Ganguly confirmed the development to Sportstar
“Deepti has got a job with Uttar Pradesh police and that’s why she wanted to shift there. We have already issued her an NOC...”
In January this year, Deepti was honoured with the post of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) by the Uttar Pradesh government.
Deepti, a key member of India’s women’s cricket team, had moved to Bengal from Uttar Pradesh a few years ago with Jhulan Goswami and Mithu Mukherjee convincing her.
Last year, there were reports of her possible exit from the Bengal team, however, the CAB officials had convinced her to stay back
According to Ganguly, no decision has been taken yet on whether to sign up any outstation players as Deepti’s replacement.
