The Singapore cricket community mourns the passing of Harnam Singh, a dedicated servant of the game who represented Singapore from the 1970s to 1990s. He was 81.

A dependable figure in Singapore cricket during a formative period for the sport in the country, Harnam was known for his commitment, discipline, and quiet influence on and off the field. Over more than a decade in national colours, he contributed to the growth and competitiveness of Singapore cricket in regional competitions, earning the respect of teammates and opponents alike.

Beyond his playing career, Singh remained closely connected to the cricketing fraternity, offering guidance and encouragement to younger players and maintaining a lifelong passion for the sport. His presence at matches and community events reflected a deep love for cricket and its values.

Those who played alongside him remember not only his abilities as a cricketer but also his sportsmanship and camaraderie. He was regarded as a steadying influence in the dressing room and a proud representative of Singapore on the international stage.

Harnam’s passing marks the loss of one of Singapore cricket’s devoted contributors. He is survived by his wife, daughter and son, family, and a grateful sporting community that will remember his legacy with respect and affection.

May he rest in peace.
