He made his international debut in August 1981 at the age of 21 in a CAN qualifier against Morocco in Rabat, when he replaced the injured Alex Chola in a match which Zambia lost 2–1.
[1] Shinde was at his best when Zambia defeated Cameroon 4–1 in a World Cup qualifier in 1985 in Lusaka, bossing the midfield to telling effect.
Shinde then moved to Nkana's bitter rivals, defending league champions Power Dynamos in 1995, replacing Webby Chilufya who had left for a coaching course in Europe.
When Power Dynamos recorded some indifferent results in the league, Shinde had a traumatic experience when fans blamed him for the team's performances and one of them went as far as following him to his home and pulling a gun on him.
Shinde gave no response until a year later when Chilufya was fired at the end of the 1996 season when Dynamos finished third, 19 points behind champions Wanderers.
