That constant hustle now takes them to the Asia Cup, where captain Jatinder Singh and all-rounder Sufyan Mehmood carry not just their team's hopes but also the story of a nation determined to carve its place in world cricket.

“When we started, our primary job was to get a job; cricket was secondary for us,” Jatinder told PTI Videos.

“Most boys worked in offices and then managed cricket on the side, But will say now that it's a dream come true to represent Oman in the Asia Cup. Our camp is really excited and looking forward to the tournament,” he added. Jatinder spoke more on his early struggles of playing cricket in Oman.
