Mandeep Singh Parts Ways with Tripura Cricket Team
Veteran domestic cricketer Mandeep Singh has parted ways with the Tripura cricket team ahead of the 2025–26 season. The 33-year-old batter, who led the side across all formats during his stint, confirmed his departure through an Instagram post.
“Thank you Tripura CA for giving me the opportunity to play last season, I enjoyed my time there,” Mandeep wrote in an Instagram post. “Made some wonderful memories on and off the field. Wishing the team success for the upcoming season. Looking forward to the next chapter,” Mandeep wrote on his social media account.
One Season Journey with Tripura
Mandeep joined Tripura after ending a 15-year association with Punjab. He had previously guided Punjab to their first Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title in 30 years during the 2023–24 season. His move reflected the growing trend of senior players joining emerging teams in Indian domestic cricket.
Despite Tripura’s struggles in the Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy, and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Mandeep’s performances stood out. He scored an unbeaten 124* and five half-centuries in six Ranji games, maintaining consistency by passing fifty in every match. In white-ball cricket, he registered three fifties in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, including a top score of 94 against Bengal, and two more in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Leadership and Impact
Though Tripura failed to progress beyond group stages, Mandeep’s leadership gave the team a competitive edge. His batting form and captaincy offered hope, making his exit a major setback for the northeastern side. The team now faces the challenge of filling a gap in both leadership and the batting unit.
Future Plans Unclear
As of now, Mandeep Singh has not revealed his next domestic destination. With his proven consistency and leadership, several state teams are expected to show interest in securing his services for the upcoming season.
