Profile
Made his first-class debut in 2003/4 against the touring New Zealanders and, in 2004/5, took 34 wickets in six Ranji Trophy matches, the joint-highest of the season. He came to prominence in the ICC U/19 Cricket World Cup 2004 after taking eight wickets at 24.75 apiece and bowling tidily at the death. He made his Test debut against Pakistan at Faisalabad in January 2006, earning the Man-of-the-Match award for his match-haul of five wickets. Since then he has had his 'moments' in Test cricket but has not been consistent enough to seal a permanent place for himself in the longest version of the game. In a team with fast-rising superstars, RP Singh still needs to firmly establish himself as a bowler who can support the attack even on pitches that do not assist his pace and swing. The selectors have shown faith in him, despite some rough patches, and its time for RP Singh to repay the faith shown in him with some good, consistent performance with the ball.
