Harmeet Singh’s Bio
Harmeet Singh was spotted at Shivaji Park and has attracted instant praise from coaches and players alike. Harmeet was coached by the likes of Padmakar Shivalkar, and Praveen Amre. Delivering with a still head, equipped with a loopy delivery, and strapped with a big
heart to flight the ball, Harmeet’s unique bowling style has impressed onlookers. By the age of 19, Harmeet had already featured in two Under-19 World Cups. In his first attempt in 2010, he proved too expensive for the team management to retain him regularly. Following
the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal, a bookie claimed he had attempted to involve Harmeet, but failed to reach an agreement as the player was too young. Though the BCCI subsequently investigated Harmeet, he was cleared of any misconduct. Harmeet later relocated to the USA and earned selection for their 2024 T20 World Cup squad.
