Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh, much like his legendary namesake, is an explosive cricketer making waves in Indian domestic cricket. Since the return of cricket post-COVID, Singh has been a stand-out performer for Railways across the three formats.

A genuine seam bowling all-rounder, Singh starred on his Ranji Trophy debut (v Karnataka) in February 2022 taking 5-93 (27.3) in the first innings before a brisk 48 (68) from the lower-middle order. He would then take 5 wickets and score 46 (55 balls) in his second match (v Puducherry), before a barnstorming maiden first-class century (103 off 133 balls) in his third (v Jammu and Kashmir).

Singh had already impressed in T20 cricket taking 6 wickets at 14 during the 2021/22 Syed Mushtaq Ali campaign, before following up with 11 wickets at 10.54 (2022/23), and 9 wickets at 19.88 (2023/24).

It’s fair to say Singh is making quite a name for himself on the domestic circuit, and last summer (2023/24) has continued to shine with 9 wickets at 20.55 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (List A), before bagging 36 wickets at 16.85 with 2 five wicket hauls in his 7 Ranji Trophy fixtures.

A sharp, and skilful opening bowler who is both a technically astute, and explosive middle-order bat, Singh really does have quite the future. Recommended by legendary Railways, and CricX client, Mahesh Rawat, Singh is looking to progress in the game.

In a view toward his development, Singh headed abroad to play for Bradninch and Kentisbeare in 2023. He impressed striking 714 runs at 37.05 alongside 36 wickets at 15.81 to help the club to a second-placed finish in the Devon Premier League. The Indian all-rounder returned, albeit for a short stint in 2024 (215 runs at 17.92 and 14 wickets at 19.71) and helped his side go one better to win the title.

Singh is a stand-out performer who is now open to a UK return in 2025.
