Aditya Tare Set To Play For Uttarakhand In The Upcoming Domestic Season

Aditya Tare, a former captain of Mumbai, has also left the team after Siddesh Lad and Arjun Tendulkar.

The seasoned wicketkeeper will represent the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand as a “Professional” in the upcoming season. He led the 41-time Ranji Trophy champions to their last Ranji trophy in the 2015–16 campaign.

The selectors informed him at the time that he was no longer important to white-ball cricket when they did not pick him from the Vijay Hazare Trophy last year.

All of this appeared to have affected the seasoned “keeper-batsman,” who on Monday requested a No-Objection Certificate from the Mumbai Cricket Association in order to represent another state.

It Is Time For New Challenges: Aditya Tare

“I won’t lie, it did hurt a bit the way things ended. But it’s time for new challenges, new environment and I am excited for this new phase in my playing career with so much yet to offer,” Tare told the Times of India.

“It’s difficult to put into words how I feel about moving on from Mumbai. Since I was about 16 years when I got my first Mumbai cap (for the Mumbai under-17 team), until today at the ripe age of 34, I’ve enjoyed myself, played with absolute pride and lived my dream of being a Mumbai player,” Tare said.

“The thing that I will miss the most is the Mumbai dressing room, it’s a special place, I was blessed to be a part of it for over a decade with some incredible players and people some of whom have been my best of friends. To all my Mumbai teammates over the years, you guys made me a better player. Thank you!” Tare said in a statement.
