Ludhiana’s cricketing fraternity has a reason to celebrate as promising off-spinner Anmoljeet Singh has been selected in the India U-19 squad for the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka, a reward for his consistent performances and steady rise.
The 18-year-old youth, regarded as one of the state’s brightest spin prospects, has impressed selectors with his performances in domestic tournaments over the past two seasons. His ability to strike at crucial moments, coupled with disciplined spells under pressure, made him a strong contender for national honours.
Anmoljeet, a student of Class XI at GTB National Senior Secondary School, Shimlapuri, Ludhiana, was among state’s leading performers in the Cooch Behar Trophy and he further strengthened his credentials during the U-19 Challenger Trophy, where his control and match awareness stood out. The selection marks a significant milestone in the youngster’s cricketing journey and places him among the country’s most promising emerging talents.
Harbhajan Kala and Satwinder, coaches who have closely monitored his progress, credit his success to discipline, hard work and commitment to improve his game.
Congratulating the cricketer, Shavinder Singh Sandhu, president of the Ludhiana Cricket Association, an affiliated unit of the Punjab Cricket Association, said the player had earned the opportunity through sheer dedication and consistent performances. The five-match ODI series against Sri Lanka is scheduled to be played later this month, with selected players expected to attend a preparatory camp before the tour.
