Muscat (Oman), May 24 (Ians) Veteran cricketer Zeeshan Maqsood will lead Oman at the upcoming Icc Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier next month with Aqib Ilyas named as his deputy for the 10-team tournament.
The squad has two uncapped players in leg-spinner Samay Shrivastav and all-rounder Rafiullah. It also features three wicketkeepers — Naseem Khushi, Suraj Kumar and Adeel Shafique — with one of them set to miss out in the final 15, according to a statement from Oman Cricket.
The squad has a pretty familiar look otherwise with the bowling attack led by Bilal Khan and Kaleemullah. Oman have relied on experience with the average age of the squad being 32.
Oman are placed in Group B alongside Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland, and UAE at the Cricket World Cup Qualifier. The two teams that come out on top in the three-week tournament will travel to the main event in India later in the year.

Shah Rukh Khan just reclaimed his status as one of India’s biggest butts-in-seats draws after a four-year absence from movies.
Director Siddharth Anand’s action spectacular “Pathaan,” a loosely connected installment in India’s ongoing Yrf Spy Universe series, earned 77 million in its first week of global release. The immediate success both reaffirmed Khan’s bankability and provided a much-needed jolt to a struggling Bollywood industry.
Khan was a name synonymous with Bollywood in the 1990s and 2000s. However, as explained by film critic and pop culture journalist Siddhant Adlakha, he was known more as a romantic lead than as an action hero.
“The comparison is closer to Tom Cruise of the 1980s and 1990s,” argued Adlakha, “when he became a star through films like ‘The Firm’ and ‘Jerry Maguire,’ as opposed to the last two decades during which Cruise has primarily made action flicks like ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ and the ‘Mission: Impossible’ sequels.
