Arjan Kripal Singh played as a semi-professional guest in the Ottawa Valley Cricket Council in Canada during the 92, 96 seasons. He was remarkably successful in the lower echelon B division but was very unlucky in the higher level A division where the consistently high quality of bowling was his undoing. He scored heavily in the B division with 4 centuries in the 92 season and 2 centuries in the 96 season and a brace of fifties. Curiously, he failed to even reach double figures in the A division. In both 92 and 96, his host team, New Edinburgh Cricket Club were league champions, largely due to Arjan's contributions. A popular and engaging personality both on and off the field, he is remembered fondly by his teammates and friends. He was elected an honorary "Thomas" in 1997 for his services to cricket.
