Oman has unveiled a new-look squad for its first appearance at the Asia Cup, as per the official website of the ICC.
Experienced opener Jatinder Singh will captain Oman during the eight-team tournament, with the side drawn in Group A alongside Pakistan, host UAE and India.
The 17-member squad features a different set of players from the ones that took part in last year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in USA and the West Indies, with a total of four new faces – Sufyan Yousuf, Zikriya Islam, Faisal Shah and Nadeem Khan – in line for their international debut.
It will be Oman’s first-ever appearance at the Asia Cup and head coach Duleep Mendis is excited to see what the side can achieve.
“It is real that we are participating in the Asia Cup – a major tournament and a fantastic opportunity for our players to showcase their skills on a global stage,” Mendis said, as quoted from the official website of ICC.
“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,” he added.
The squad
Jatinder Singh (Capt.), Hammad Mirza, Vinayak Shukla, Sufyan Yousuf, Ashish Odedera, Aamir Kaleem, Mohammed Nadeem, Sufyan Mehmood, Aryan Bisht, Karan Sonavale, Zikriya Islam, Hassnain Ali Shah, Faisal Shah, Muhammed Imran, Nadeem Khan, Shakeel Ahmad and Samay Shrivastava.
