After including Singh in Mumbai squad for the 2014–15 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in March 2015, the Mumbai Cricket Association selector Milind Rege remarked, "I am utmost impressed. We were looking for someone like him to take Mumbai cricket forward. We played him in two trial matches to pick the Mumbai team. I asked the captain of the team to bowl him in the power play overs and I think he fulfilled what we were looking for. He’s accurate, a brilliant fielder and has the cricketing IQ."[2] In November 2018, playing as an outstation player for Puducherry in the U-23 Col CK Nayudu Trophy, Singh picked up all the 10 wickets in an innings against Manipur.[3]
