Former India left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha, who recently drew curtains on his international career, is keen to compete in the T20 Leagues abroad and will seek BCCI permission for exploring the options.

Ojha had announced his retirement from international and first-class cricket last week.

"There are few things in my mind. I have been doing commentary and I am with the BCCI. I will take advise from the BCCI whether I can go and play in some leagues outside India but (only) if I get a permission. I need to talk to BCCI and let's see what happens," Ojha told reporters on sidelines of the DY Patil T20 Cup.

Ojha played under the charismatic Mahendra Singh Dhoni and he termed the former skipper "bowler's captain."
Asked whether the clampdown on chucking affected his career, he said, "I will tell very clearly, what happened when I started playing, I developed few things which were not good for my career."
