The chase was over almost before it began. Manpreet Singh, already the standout bowler, returned to the middle and detonated a stunning innings that left the Indonesia attack in disarray. His 94 off just 56 balls featuring seven fours and six sixes — all but ended the contest inside 30 overs.

“Girin Gune provided the perfect support act with a composed 65 from 82 deliveries, guiding Singapore home in style.”

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.

In Loving Memory of Mr. Arjun Menon

In Loving Memory of Mr. Arjun Menon

(Singapore Cricket Association Coach, 2015–2019)

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Arjun Menon, a proud Singaporean who left us this morning.

He was the National Cricket Coach of Malawi.

Arjun Menon was a Singaporean cricket player and coach whose career reflected his unwavering dedication to the development of cricket, both at home and abroad. A passionate ambassador for Singapore cricket, he carried the Singapore flag with pride wherever he coached. And Malawi, where he passed on, was the beneficiary of his cricket contribution.

Arjun’s journey in cricket began at Saint Patrick’s School, where he first discovered his love for the game. A talented wicketkeeper, he went on to represent Singapore at youth level and made his senior debut against the United Arab Emirates in Malaysia. He played five senior matches for the national team before moving to Australia in 1999 to outside a degree.

Arjun’s coaching legacy was immense. He led national teams in Chile, Botswana, Indonesia, and Malawi, but always remained deeply connected to his roots and love for Singapore.

From 2015 to 2019, Arjun served in key coaching and development roles within the Singapore Cricket Association, including as Head Coach of the Singapore National Men’s Team.

His most memorable achievement came in 2017, when he led Singapore to a historic Gold Medal win in T20 cricket at the Southeast Asian Games, a moment of national pride that marked a new era for Singapore cricket.

Arjun helped lay the foundation for the national high-performance pathway, nurturing the next generation of Singaporean cricketers with commitment and heart.

In 2020, he was to Operations Manager for Cricket Malawi, later taking on coaching duties and guiding the national side at the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional Qualifier A. Yet, even overseas, he remained a proud Singaporean, often crediting Singapore’s cricketing journey as the inspiration behind his global work.

Arjun was more than a coach; he was a mentor, leader, and an embodiment of Singaporean values of excellence, humility, and service. His legacy lives on in the players he shaped and the communities he uplifted across continents.

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, players, and all who have the honor of knowing him.

 Rest in peace, Arjun. Singapore is proud of you.
