About Janak Prakash

Janak Prakash is Singapore’s tireless workhorse—an all-rounder who combines raw energy, athleticism, and match sense to bring balance and grit to the national team. Whether he’s charging in with the new ball or grinding out runs in pressure situations, Janak plays with heart on his sleeve and fire in his game. Born and raised in Singapore, Janak was introduced to cricket through local coaching programs and school-level competitions. From the start, he stood out for his aggression and commitment. Coaches quickly identified him as a player with the rare blend of pace and power—a natural athlete who could bowl with bite and hit with purpose. His rise through the junior ranks was fast, and by the age of 18, he had already cemented a place in the national squad. As a bowler, Janak brings intensity. His right-arm medium-fast deliveries often hit the deck hard, and he’s known to bowl sharp spells, particularly in T20s. He’s effective in the powerplay and frequently used to break partnerships with his relentless approach and occasional movement off the seam. What sets him apart is his fearlessness—he doesn’t mind taking on big hitters, often bowling in high-pressure death overs. With the bat, Janak is a lower-middle order asset. He’s not a stylist, but he’s a fighter. He has rescued Singapore multiple times with gritty cameos, quick runs in the death overs, or match-winning partnerships when the top order has faltered. His ability to read situations and adapt—either by absorbing pressure or counter-attacking—makes him a dependable presence. Janak has had a defining impact in tournaments like the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Region Qualifiers and bilateral series against teams like Malaysia, Nepal, and Hong Kong. His standout performance came when he picked up vital wickets and followed it up with a match-saving innings against a much-fancied opponent, showcasing his all-round class and temperament. Off the field, Janak is humble, hardworking, and fiercely patriotic. He speaks often about the importance of discipline and taking pride in representing Singapore on the international stage. He’s a regular face in youth cricket development, sharing his experiences and encouraging the next generation to dream big. Janak Prakash is more than an all-rounder—he’s a battler, a leader-in-the-making, and one of the beating hearts of Singapore cricket’s ambitious rise in the Associate world.
