Oman have announced their squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025. This will be the first time they compete in the tournament. Jatinder Singh has been named captain of the squad.
Head coach Duleep Mendis said that the Asia Cup would be a great platform for their players to showcase their talent.
“It is real that we are participating in the Asia Cup – a major tournament and a fantastic opportunity for our players to display their skills on a global stage,” said Mendis. “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 appeared confident about their preparations for the big tournament.
“Our build-up has been strong, with the ongoing National T20 tournament providing competitive exposure, and our training sessions have been intense and focused. 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’s first match is against Pakistan in the Asia Cup on 12 September. They will then play against the UAE on 15 September and against India on 19 September.
