Anish Paraam is the definition of a complete cricketer—technically sharp, mentally composed, and endlessly reliable. Over the years, he has become the heartbeat of Singapore cricket, someone who offers calm in chaos and impact in every format. A left-handed middle-order batsman and a clever left-arm spinner, Anish brings a rare dual skillset to a team that’s constantly evolving on the global stage. Born and raised in Singapore, Anish’s cricketing journey began at a young age through his family, where the sport was a daily rhythm. His natural ability and early discipline set him on a promising path through age-group cricket. It wasn’t long before he was representing Singapore at the senior level, where he immediately impressed with his adaptability and cricketing intelligence. As a batsman, Anish is elegant but effective. He’s not a brute-force player—his strength lies in timing, placement, and an unflappable temperament. Whether the team needs him to stabilize an innings after early wickets or accelerate in the death overs, he finds a way to deliver. His innings often reflect a deep understanding of the game—when to defend, when to attack, and how to rotate strike under pressure. A few of his best knocks have come against tough opposition in high-stakes qualifiers, where his experience and level-headedness stood out. With the ball, Anish’s left-arm orthodox spin adds another layer of value. He doesn’t rely on extravagant turn but uses flight, variation, and discipline to outsmart batters. He’s often used in the middle overs to dry up runs and build pressure, but he also has the knack of picking up key wickets with clever changes of pace. His all-round ability has made him a permanent fixture in Singapore’s T20 and ODI setups. Anish played a significant role during Singapore’s successful 2019 run in the ICC T20 World Cup Asia Region Qualifier, contributing in all departments and often being the player the team looked to in clutch moments. Off the field, Anish is one of the most respected voices in the dressing room. Articulate and humble, he’s deeply invested in developing Singapore’s cricketing culture—mentoring youngsters, contributing to local academies, and speaking openly about the need for higher standards in Associate cricket. For Singapore, Anish Paraam isn’t just an all-rounder—he’s a leader, a craftsman, and a guiding force in their ambition to stand tall among cricket’s rising nations.
