Wicket-Keeper batsman who made his Ranji Trophy debut against Gujarat in Plate League back in 2007 was the star-signing on day-three of Silchar DSA’s inter-club transfer. Rajdeep Das moved to Ithkhola AC from United Club. The star player has been joined by another state cricketer Montu Das. While United Club loses two of its star players, Itkhola AC is rejuvenated by the new signings.
Apart from Rajdeep and Montu, Itkhola AC has signed Abhishek Chakraborty from the same United and all-rounder Biswajit Bhattacharjee from Tribeni Club. In total, Itkhola AC has signed six players so far and captain Prakash Bhagat shares that he has his eyes set on Sadik Imran Choudhury and Abhijit Sinha.
Southpaw Prakash Bhagat played for Assam and is buoyed by the new signings. “Excited to have Rajdeep and Montu in the team,” says Prakash. He adds, “We managed to retain seven players who played for Itkhola AC last year and along with them we have signed six new players. So, we have a squad of 13 players and we are optimistic about the upcoming season. It is a stronger squad we have this year.”
On the third day of the transfer/clearance, 57 players signed for their new clubs. Yesterday, the number was 68 and overall 219 players took part in this process. Silchar DSA has spread the transfer process across four days this time. The decision has been taken to ensure that there is no overcrowding and the COVID protocols are not compromised.
On Tuesday, United signed Nihar Paul from Town Club. One of the biggest sports outfits in South Assam, prestigious Town Club had signed all-rounder Samik Das on day one of the clearance. Today, they have signed Abhitab Paul from Oasis to further strengthen its batting lineup.
On the other hand, Bijoyi Sangha signed Sudip Sinha and Sana Macha from Popular Club. Along with them, Classmates Union’s Ahad Barbhuiya has also signed for Bijoyi Sangha. Ganasur signed Soumitra Shankar Paul from Town Club while Tarapur AC signed Shamim Ahmed Mir and Bijoyi Sangha’s Amandip Das.
