Manpreet Singh is Singapore’s first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman, known for his calm temperament behind the stumps and valuable contributions with the bat in the middle order. Born on October 5, 1995, Manpreet has steadily grown into a pivotal figure within the national setup since making his debut in the mid-2010s. A left-handed batsman, he is especially known for his ability to adapt his game to match situations—stabilizing the innings during collapses or accelerating when required in the death overs. Manpreet made his T20I debut in July 2019 and has since featured prominently in several international fixtures, including the ICC T20 World Cup Asia Qualifiers and Cricket World Cup Challenge League matches. One of his finest performances came during a crucial T20I against Malaysia, where he scored a brisk 41* to anchor a successful chase under pressure. With the gloves, Manpreet is swift and reliable, effecting sharp stumpings and reflex catches that have saved Singapore many valuable runs. His understanding of the game and ability to read match conditions make him a dependable asset. On several occasions, he has also stepped up to lead the side in unofficial capacities and is considered a natural leader within the squad. In domestic cricket, Manpreet plays a mentoring role for young wicketkeeper-batsmen in Singapore’s elite development programs.
