Bhubaneswar: Dinesh Mongia is confident that Odisha will do well in the upcoming domestic cricket season.
“The team definitely has potential as they defeated Ranji Trophy finalists Bengal at Eden Gardens. I’m sure Odisha players will perform to the best of their abilities in the upcoming season,” said Mongia who was recently appointed head coach of the senior men’s team.
The former Team India player, who arrived in Odisha on Wednesday, thanked the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) and Odisha Cricket Association (OCA) officials for entrusting him with the job.
Speaking about OCA’s Vision@2024 programme and the target of reaching the Ranji Trophy final, Mongia emphasised on developing cricketers which will eventually develop the game in Odisha.
Odisha finished fifth in Ranji Trophy Elite Group A last season, thus missing out on a knockout berth. The high point of their campaign was the outright win over Bengal – their only one – but it came too late.
Mongia will oversee the OCA’s Talent Hunt Camp for Spinners, which got underway in Cuttack today.
He said the talent hunt camp will give an opportunity to all potential spinners in the state and help Odisha unearth good spinners for the future.
