Crick­et coach Robin Singh has moved from Trinidad to In­dia and just about every­where else. And what a jour­ney this has been for the well-known crick­eter-now-coach who was born in Princes Town, and who has been trav­el­ling since de­part­ing these shore many years ago. Af­ter leav­ing Trinidad, he end­ed up stay­ing in In­dia and mak­ing a name for him­self in the crick­et­ing world, rep­re­sent­ing that coun­try at the high­est lev­el both as a play­er and coach.

That he rep­re­sent­ed and cap­tained Trinidad and To­ba­go at the un­der-19 lev­el and played a cou­ple of games for the se­nior T&T team be­fore head­ing off to In­dia is the stuff that dreams are made of.

In his play­ing hey­day, he was an all-rounder, a left-hand­ed bats­man, right-hand­ed bowler, and ex­cit­ing field­s­man. Fol­low­ing his T&T play­ing days, he went on to rep­re­sent In­dia in 136 One Day In­ter­na­tion­al match­es scor­ing over 2,000 runs with one cen­tu­ry and nine half-cen­turies, cap­tured 69 wick­ets with a best of five for 22 and held 33 catch­es. His in­ter­na­tion­al ca­reer spanned from 1989 to 2001 fol­low­ing which he re­tired and then be­came a coach.

He has re­cent­ly opened his own Crick­et Acad­e­my in Dubai…the aim of the acad­e­my is to hone the skills of young as­pi­rants and pro­vide the guid­ance and fa­cil­i­ties to crick­eters dur­ing their off-sea­son or pre-tour­na­ment prepa­ra­tions.
