Early life

[edit]

Singh was born on 28 March 1998, in Patiala. He is the son of former India Handball captain Satvinder Singh.[2]

Growing up in a household deeply rooted in sports, Anmolpreet shares familial cricket connections with his cousin, Prabhsimran Singh, and younger brother Tegpreet Singh, both carving their paths as domestic cricketers.[3]

Anmolpreet's journey into the world of cricket commenced at the age of 5 when he would accompany his cousins to the cricket field, eagerly fetching balls for them, prompting his father to enroll him in a cricket academy in Patiala in 2005.[4]

Coached and mentored by Munish Bali, former assistant coach of the world cup-winning India under-19 cricket team of 2008, Anmolpreet Singh emerged as a promising talent. He set records with the Punjab under-14 and under-16 sides. Notably, he showcased his skill by amassing over 1000 runs at the under-19 level in the Cooch Behar Trophy for two consecutive years. [5]

Singh played two matches in the 2014–15 season of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Punjab and three matches in the 2015 India Under-19 Tri-Nation tournament.[6] In December 2015 he was named in India's squad for the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[7]

He made his first-class debut for Punjab in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy on 6 October 2017.[8] In November 2017, in his third first-class match, he scored 267 runs in the first innings for Punjab against Chhattisgarh.[9] He was the leading run-scorer for Punjab in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy, with 753 runs in five matches.[10]
