MUSCAT – In a landmark step for its cricketing journey, Oman has unveiled a 17-member squad for its inaugural appearance at the Asia Cup. Veteran opener Jatinder Singh, who brings both experience and leadership, will captain the side as they embark on this historic campaign.
The team includes four uncapped players—Sufyan Yousuf, Zikriya Islam, Faisal Shah, and Nadeem Khan—who could potentially make their international debut in arguably Oman’s most significant cricketing moment yet. Head coach Duleep Mendis expressed enthusiasm over the achievement, calling it “a fantastic opportunity for our players to showcase their skills on a global stage.” He underscored the importance of mental fortitude when facing cricketing heavyweights, noting that in T20 matches, “one over of brilliance can change everything.”
Oman is grouped in Group A alongside tournament hosts UAE, India, and Pakistan. Their campaign begins against Pakistan on September 12, followed by matches against the UAE on September 15 and India on September 19—the perfect arena for their debut on the continental stage.
