Harmeet Singh is a USA all-rounder who will captain Janakpur Bolts in NPL Season 3, announced as captain on August 8, 2026. A left-arm spinner who bats aggressively in the lower order, he was part of India's 2012 Under-19 World Cup squad before switching to the USA, playing 29 T20Is (31 wickets, 242 runs) and 39 ODIs. He arrives with an unusual credential: he has lost two NPL finals, both with Sudurpaschim Royals.
In the Nepal Premier League 2026, he is tactical brain and spin spearhead: his Season 2 numbers, 133 runs and 12 wickets, show a genuine two-phase contributor, and alongside Lalit Rajbanshi and Aaditya Mahata he can rotate three left-arm spinners through the middle overs.
About Harmeet Singh

Playing style and strengths
Harmeet is a left-arm orthodox spinner who bowls wicket-to-wicket with subtle changes of pace rather than big turn. His method is containment through accuracy: he attacks the stumps, varies his trajectory to deny batters a hittable length, and holds the arm ball back as his wicket-taking delivery when batters shape to work him through the leg side. That control profile — 31 wickets in 29 T20Is — is why captains trust him with the middle-overs squeeze, typically the 7-to-14-over block, where his accuracy builds the pressure that creates wickets at the other end.
With the bat he is a left-handed lower-order hitter rather than a nurdler: his 133 Season 2 runs came at an aggressive tempo, and he is comfortable taking on spin in the last five overs. He is an energetic inner-ring fielder, often at point or cover where his anticipation shows.
Harmeet Singh's role at Janakpur Bolts in Season 3
As captain, Harmeet is both Janakpur's tactical brain and its spin spearhead. He leads an attack built in his own image: with Lalit Rajbanshi the lead domestic spinner and Aaditya Mahata a second left-arm orthodox option, Harmeet can rotate three left-arm spinners through the middle overs — a rare structural advantage at the TU Ground, where grip has historically rewarded slow bowling. His own overs project in the 7-to-14 window, setting up the death for Neesham's seam and the domestic quicks.
With the bat he slots at No. 7 or No. 8 as the left-handed foil to Neesham's finishing, giving Janakpur two left-hand hitters for the last five overs. The appointment also solves a leadership question: Anil Kumar Sah, the 2024 title-winning captain, remains as the senior voice — so Harmeet, twice a losing finalist with Sudurpaschim Royals, gets a deputy who has actually lifted this trophy.
