Bantoo Singh (born 17 February 1963), also spelled as Bantu Singh, is a former Indian first-class cricketer who played for Delhi cricket team from 1985/86 to 1995/96. In 2005, he became a selector for the Delhi District Cricket Association.
Singh was born on 17 February 1963 in Delhi. His father Dilbaugh Singh[1] was the founder of Delhi Gymkhana Club and had also played first-class cricket for Jammu and Kashmir cricket team. He had also worked as a selector of Delhi.[2]
Singh played as a right-handed middle-order batsman, representing Delhi between the 1985/86 to 1995/96 seasons. He scored more than 3000 first-class runs and 11 hundreds including hundreds in two Ranji Trophy finals: 179 against Bengal in the 1988–89 Ranji Trophy final and 123 against Tamil Nadu in the 1991–92 Ranji Trophy final. He had also captained the team in a few matches and appeared for North Zone cricket team in Duleep Trophy. Although he had played his last first-class match in 1995/96, he announced his retirement only in November 2005.[3]
In August 2005, Delhi District Cricket Association appointed Singh as a member of the five-man Delhi selection panel.[4] He later became the chairman of Delhi under-19 selection panel.[5]
