The Oman cricket team has been announced for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025, scheduled to begin on September 9. This tournament marks Oman’s first appearance in the Asia Cup. They are placed in Group A alongside India, Pakistan, and the UAE. The squad includes several new faces and showcases diversity. The team features four Hindu players, and a Sikh cricketer has been appointed as captain. Jatinder Singh, a successful opening batsman, has been entrusted with the captaincy.
Selected players include Samay Shrivastav, Aryan Bisht, Vinayak Shukla, and Ashish Odedera, all of whom are Hindu. The team’s batting and bowling lineups appear to be well-equipped. Oman will be competing against India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 and will aim to provide a strong challenge.
Oman’s Asia Cup 2025 campaign will commence with a match against Pakistan on September 12th. They will then play against the UAE on September 15th, with their final group stage match against India on September 19th in Abu Dhabi. Oman has displayed consistent performance in recent times, and fans are looking forward to a good showing from the team in the Asia Cup 2025.
Commenting on the team’s preparations, Oman’s Head Coach, Duleep Mendis, said before the Asia Cup 2025 started, “Playing against Pakistan and India is a dream for any cricketer. They are both very strong teams, but T20 cricket can change quickly, with one over changing the course of a match. Our team is also very strong. They have played outstanding cricket and qualified for the Asia Cup 2025. I hope that the team’s players will certainly make an impact in the Asia Cup. We have excellent young players and they will learn a lot from experienced cricketers.”
