Oman cricket team must be playing in the Asia Cup for the first time, but the story of its players has been very struggling. The story seems inspiring from playing on cement pitches to Asia Cup after spending hours in office. Captain Jatinder Singh says that his first goal was to get a job, he has always placed cricket in second place.

Talking to the news agency PTI, he said, “Most of the players of the team used to do office jobs and then manage the cricket career. Now I would like to say that representing Oman in the Asia Cup is like a dream come true. Our team is very excited and desperate to do well in the tournament.”

Play on cement pitch

Oman captain Jatinder Singh said that he used to play on Turf Ground, Cement Pitch. He then received the Astro Turf Pitch in 2008 and finally started playing in the field in 2011. He said, “There was a time when I felt that no results could be yielded, then why am I working hard, but the hunger and passion to move forward kept encouraging us.”

A bitter truth is that some players left this difficult journey in the middle. But players like Jatinder Singh and Sufian Mahmood stayed till the end and today have pulled the team to the Asia Cup.

Parents did not get support

All-rounder Sufian Mahmood said that when he joined Oman’s national team, his parents said that Oman had no future in cricket. Mahmud’s parents wanted his son to focus on studies. But he was full of confidence and the desire to do something did not let him leave cricket. When Oman qualified for the 2016 World Cup, Mahmud’s dreams got wings.

Oman must be playing in the Asia Cup for the first time, which is kept in Group A along with India, Pakistan and UAE. The Oman team will be captained by Jatinder Singh.
