Oman on Tuesday announced a fresh-faced 17-member squad for their maiden appearance in the Asia Cup, as confirmed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on its official website. The squad is led by seasoned opener Jatinder Singh, who will captain the side in what promises to be a defining tournament for the Gulf nation.

Drawn into Group A, Oman will face a formidable challenge alongside regional heavyweights India, Pakistan, and hosts United Arab Emirates (UAE). Despite the tough competition, the squad enters the eight-team continental tournament with a blend of experience and youthful energy.

The selection marks a noticeable shift from the side that participated in the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies. Head coach Duleep Mendis and his support staff have opted for a refreshed approach, introducing four uncapped players who are poised to make their international debuts: Sufyan Yousuf, Zikriya Islam, Faisal Shah, and Nadeem Khan.
