Jaskaran Singh (born 19 September 2002) is an English cricketer.[1] He made his first-class cricket debut for Kent County Cricket Club against Sussex on 11 July 2021 in the County Championship following a member of the county's First XI squad testing positive for COVID-19 which required the players involved in the county's previous match to all self-isolate. As a result, a number of Second XI players or "homegrown prospects"[2] were drafted into the squad and made their senior debuts for the county.[3][4] Singh took four top-order wickets in Sussex's first innings on debut, finishing with innings with four wickets at the cost of 51 runs (4/51) from 11 overs.[3][5][6]
