There have been many incidents when cricketers have been seen changing their nationality for sports. Especially in a country like India, where cricket is more than just a game as every citizen of the country has at least once dreamed of playing the sport. However, this dream is not fulfilled by all as it takes a lot of dedication and determination. After not getting good chances at the upper level, cricketers have often been seen playing for other nation or other minor leagues. The same scenario has happened as Indian star Milind Kumar took a similar route.

The sportsman might have decided the retirement route following the strict rule of the BCCI.  According to the Board of Control for Cricket in India, a player (male) can only play county cricket and List A cricket in England. He can’t participate in other leagues without taking retirement from Indian cricket. 

Milind Kumar had an excellent domestic record while playing in India. He was part of the Delhi, Sikkim, and Tripura side at the domestic level. He also got the opportunity to lead his side in Ranji Trophy. He had scored 78 runs not out in 85 deliveries during the practice match between Delhi and England in 2013. He also got the chance to represent Board President’s XI against New Zealand in 2017.
