About Manpreet Singh

Manpreet Singh is a central figure in Singapore’s modern cricket story—a dependable wicketkeeper-batsman known for his calm under pressure, tidy glovework, and a batting style that mixes classical technique with the aggression needed in modern T20 cricket. As one of the most consistent performers in Singapore's squad, Manpreet has quietly carved out a name for himself as both a pillar in the middle order and a reassuring presence behind the stumps. Born in Singapore into a Punjabi-Sikh family with deep cricketing roots, Manpreet was introduced to the game early. He grew up idolizing the likes of MS Dhoni and Kumar Sangakkara, and it’s no surprise that his path would eventually lead him to emulate their role—both with gloves and bat. His journey through local cricket leagues, youth tournaments, and into the senior national side has been marked by discipline and adaptability. With the bat, Manpreet is known for his ability to absorb pressure and accelerate when needed. He is especially strong through the off-side, and his late cuts and punches down the ground often catch bowlers by surprise. In T20s, he often comes in during crucial overs, rotating strike when others falter and finishing games with nerve. Behind the stumps, his glovework is sharp and efficient. Whether standing up to spinners or keeping to pacers in seaming conditions, Manpreet offers consistency that gives Singapore’s bowlers added confidence. He’s vocal, energetic, and always switched on—a hallmark of a good keeper and a team man. He has been a part of several key tournaments, including the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Qualifiers, where his contributions—both in terms of runs and stumpings—have been crucial in Singapore’s strong showings against more established teams like Hong Kong, Nepal, and Malaysia. His innings under pressure and his ability to guide younger players have also positioned him as a natural leader in the dressing room. Off the field, Manpreet is humble, community-focused, and passionate about promoting cricket among Singaporean youth. He’s involved in coaching programs and development initiatives to bring the game to schools and local communities—working to ensure Singapore’s cricketing pipeline stays strong. In every way, Manpreet Singh is more than just a player—he’s a builder of Singapore’s cricketing future.
