Muscat, The Gulf Observer: More than three and half years of hard work and Oman team work, which witnessed thrilling victories and agonising defeats, finally brought joy to the Oman men’s cricket team as they became the second team, after Scotland, to advance to the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier from the seven-nation ICC World Cricket League (WCL) Division 2.
ICC, the world cricket body, confirmed that Oman have booked their spot in the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier, the final round for a place in the Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, having collected enough points to finish among the top-three WCL 2 sides.
Oman Cricket (OC) chairman Pankaj Khimji heaped praise on his players, coaching staff and corporates who supported the Team Red throughout the WCL Division 2 series.
