The Turning Point in Simranjit Singh’s Career

In April 2021, he went to Dubai for a practice session for about 20 days. But he could not return due to the second COVID-19 wave. Simranjit told PTI in a recent interview that the second wave was strong and a lockdown was imposed again in India. ‘I couldn’t go back for months and finally stayed here.’ After this, he coached junior players, played club cricket, and after three seasons, he got a central contract from the UAE team. According to the UAE Cricket Board, if a player plays domestic cricket for 3 seasons, then he will be eligible to play international cricket. The player will not need citizenship then.
