Harmeet Singh’s journey from India to the USA’s Major League Cricket (MLC) has been one marked by challenges, victories, and personal growth. At the age of 30, Harmeet, driven by what he perceived as a “lack of opportunities” in the Indian cricket setup, ventured across the oceans to find a more stable base and fresh opportunities for his cricketing aspirations.
Harmeet recently opened up on his journey from Mumbai cricket to the US cricket scene, highlighting how the pandemic took away his mother and grandfather to make things worse.
“I came here in 2020 September and at that time also it was mid-Covid-19 and then after that, in 2021 April I lost her. That was the time we had the second (Covid-19) wave in India so it was very tough. I lost my grandfather the month after that. Those are the two people who really supported me in my cricket and took me everywhere,” he told News18.
“Shardul (Thakur) and Sidhhesh (Lad) are my childhood friends, so we do keep chatting here and there. We go a long way back. We are from the same school,” he added.
