At the tender age of 12, Ashokkumar relocated with his family to a more cricket-centric environment, enabling him to flourish.

Among his notable matches was a thrilling encounter against a much-favoured Norwegian side, where Ashokkumar's late innings heroics with both bat and ball turned the game on its head, earning him the Man of the Match accolade. This game became the cornerstone of a burgeoning rivalry between the two neighbours, with Ashokkumar often at the heart of the competitiveness.
Off the field, Ashokkumar's influence is profound. His journey injected a fresh zeal into Swedish cricket, inspiring changes at the grassroots level.
