On Saturday Indian batter Mandeep Singh announced that he will play for Tripura in the upcoming domestic season, ending his 14-year stint with Punjab. Mandeep played three T20 Internationals for India in 2016 against Zimbabwe.
Mandeep wrote on Instagram, “I have had the most amazing journey at PCA from junior level all the way to senior level whilst also having the best fortune of being the Winning Captain of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for 2023-2024.”
He further added, “However, after a lot of deliberation, I think it’s time for me to open a new chapter in my career. I have decided that now is the right time to go ahead and play cricket for Tripura in the upcoming domestic season.”
The 32-year-old thanked Punjab association and former cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh for the “constant support.” Mandeep also said, “I want to extend my appreciation to Dilsher Khanna, secretary of PCA, Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh, for their constant support throughout the years. I would also like to thank the members of PCA Management and to the staff that have been by my side over the years.”
Mandeep said he wanted to achieve many more milestones with Tripura.
