Oman have named a 17-member squad for their maiden Asia Cup appearance, with four uncapped players included for the tournament in September.
Sufyan Yousuf, Zikria Islam, Faisal Shah and Nadeem Khan are the uncapped players in the squad, which will be led by experienced opener Jatinder Singh.
Head coach Duleep Mendis described Oman’s debut at the continental event as a “fantastic opportunity” for the team to test themselves against some of the biggest sides in world cricket.
“Playing against teams like India and Pakistan is a moment to embrace for any cricketer. Anything can happen in a fast-paced T20 game, where one over of brilliance can change everything,” Mendis said.
“It’s not just about skills – in high-pressure games against elite teams, mental strength is equally crucial. We are hopeful of making an impact in this Asia Cup and showcasing Oman as a growing cricketing nation.”
Oman have been drawn in Group A, where they will begin their campaign against Pakistan on September 12, followed by fixtures against UAE on September 15 and India on September 19.
The side’s most recent international assignment was in the Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 in Lauderhill, USA, earlier this year. Their only previous outing in a major multi-nation event was the T20 World Cup in 2024.
