Oman is playing in the Asia Cup for the very first time, facing top cricketing nations like India and Pakistan.
Most Omani cricketers worked regular office jobs before joining the national team, balancing careers with their passion for cricket.
Captain Jatinder Singh highlighted how players initially prioritized jobs over cricket but stayed committed to the sport in their free time.
For years, Oman struggled without proper playing grounds. It was only in 2011 that they finally got a suitable cricket field.
Despite challenges, Oman’s players transformed their passion into a professional journey, now competing on the world stage in the Asia Cup.
After their debut match against Pakistan, Oman will take on UAE on September 15 and India on September 19, with a chance to reach the Super 4 stage.
