Our National Cricket Team will soon have a new home, thanks to the hard work of the SCA Executive Committee and our partners! We thank MCCY and SportSG for the invaluable support to secure the West Coast Ground.  SCA hopes to have a cricket-ready facility to start National Training by mid 2024.

In land-scarce Singapore, this is a massive undertaking that gives reason for celebration. The National Team will have a good training and competition environment supporting its endeavour to make Singapore proud.

“It is a challenge to find adequate space for field sports, given the land constraint we face in Singapore. The national cricket team’s training regimen and schedule requires a dedicated space that is conducive for training. We appreciate the strong support from Ministry of Culture, Community & Youth and Sport Singapore in this journey – from negotiating for earlier shared facility arrangement at Balestier Plain to their quick action in helping us secure the lease at West Coast Ground,” said Mahmood Gaznavi, President of SCA. “From the moment Singapore Cricket Association shared our requirements and challenges with Minister Edwin Tong, there had been prompt and timely developments culminating in the West Coast Ground being allocated to cricket.”

The National Cricket League will continue at various locations including the Padang, Dempsey and the Balestier Plain at Indian Association and Ceylon Sports Club grounds.

SCA is confident and continues to work closely with our partners in our push to promote cricket and to secure a permanent home for the National Team and cricket’s national development.

The Tote Board family comprising Tote Board, Singapore Pools and the Singapore Turf Club is the primary sponsor of the SNOC MAP awards. A total of 121 medalists from the Asian and SEA Games were rewarded with almost $2.3 million in cash.
The event was graced by Minister Edwin Tong, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth and Second Minister for Law and Mr Teo Chee Hean, Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security.

Singapore U19 won by 9 Wickets
After Singapore won the toss and elected to bowl, Captain Jeevan Santhanam attributed this decision to the wicket conditions and the strong bowling attack that the team possesses. Thailand’s openers attempted to see the pacers off, however fell short to the brilliance of Aryaveer Chaudhry – picking 2 crucial wickets.
This was followed by perhaps one of the best debut spells by Pranav Dhanuka, creating a record during his first match at the international stage.
Another debutant Hariharnan Ganesh Ramani, cleverly made his way through the Thai batters and perplexed them with his variations and googlies. A massive bowling effort by the Singapore team contained Thailand to a mere total of 52.
The Singapore batsmen looked dominant and set to chase the total from the start. A steady start by the openers Rahil Khan and Kabir Zandani followed by a gritty and skilful knock by the wicketkeeper batsman Pratham Somani, saw the team through to the semi-finals of the ACC U19 Men’s Premier Cup 2023.
PRANAV DHANUKA 4 wicket and Man-of-the-Match on his debut.
Debutant Pranav Dhanuka displayed a sterling performance with the ball. Panav managed to take 4 wickets in 4.4 overs while conceding just 4 runs. His spell further consisted of 3 maidens as the Thai batsmen struggled to deal with his pace and swing. Pranav was awarded the Man-of-the-Match award and had this to say on his performance.
“I just tried focusing on bowling with good rhythm, staying consistent and building pressure to coerce the batsmen into making mistakes…”.
His level of maturity not only aided in Singapore’s victory and progress towards the semi-finals of the tournament but also left a mark in the history of Singapore Cricket as he may just be the first player to debut with a four-wicket haul and receive the Man-of-the Match award. We wish Pranav and Singapore U19 best of luck for the rest of the tournament. Majulah!

Second Game: Singapore vs Thailand

Toss: Singapore won the toss and elected to bat first.
