Former India Pacer RP Singh Senior’s Son Harry Selected For England Under-19

Harry Singh, the son of former Indian seamer RP Singh Senior, has been chosen for the England Under-19 team’s upcoming home series against Sri Lanka Under-19.

RP Senior, a Lucknow native who played in two One-Day Internationals (ODIs) against Australia in 1986, relocated to England in the late 1990s and began coaching for the Lancashire County Club and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

The Lancashire 2nd XI’s opening batsman is his son Harry. Harry was chosen for the England U-19 team, which will play the Sri Lanka U-19 team at home, the ECB called a few days ago, Singh said to The Indian Express.

“It is difficult; getting to the top level requires some luck and lots of runs. In the 1990s, I witnessed a lot of cricketers who excelled in domestic play but suffered a severe setback when playing for the Indian national side. To improve his technique, Harry will need to mature” RP Singh said.

‘He has taken a small step in his career’: RP Singh

When Harry was eight years old, he started playing cricket. Singh claims that while his son excelled at both football and cricket as he grew older. The family then agreed that their lone boy would play cricket while being coached by his father.

“He used to bowl quickly, but I am aware of how taxing opening the batting can be. So I made the decision to let him keep batting, and now he also bowls off-spin. He has made a minor professional stride, but he still has a long way to go,” Singh remarked.
