The 20-year-old recently signed with the Pears on a three-year contract, following a successful loan spell in the club's Metro Bank One Day Cup campaign last summer. 

His performances spurred the team on as they reached the quarter finals of the competition for the second consecutive season. 

Singh will remain at Visit Worcestershire New Road until the end of the 2027 season. 

Singh has also kitted up for England's under-19 side - making 11 appearances between September 2021 and September 2022. 

"I’m absolutely thrilled to sign this contract and be back with Worcestershire long term," said Singh when he re-joined the club. "I had such a great experience with the club last summer. 

"I’m excited to be back at a club known for nurturing young talent, and I hope to follow in the footsteps of players like Jake Libby, who has thrived since joining from Nottinghamshire."
