Oman
Captain: Aqib Ilyas
About
Oman Cricket has emerged as one of the most progressive Associate nations in Asia, qualifying for the 2021 T20 World Cup in UAE and the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. Their consistency in reaching major ICC events reflects a well-organised programme built on a large South Asian expatriate population who drive participation at club level. The Oman Cricket Academy Ground in Muscat has hosted international cricket and serves as the team's primary venue. Captain Aqib Ilyas provides batting stability, and Bilal Khan — a left-arm seamer who has performed in multiple T20 leagues — is Oman's most prominent individual talent. Oman's journey from a fledgling cricket nation to a regular World Cup participant is one of Associate cricket's success stories of the 2010s and 2020s, and they continue to be one of Asia's most competitive qualifier nations.
