T20 WC: Oman's Homegrown Star Sufyan Mehmood Is Keen To Make Big Impact In The Showpiece Event
T20 World Cup: Sufyan Mehmood has seen cricket in Oman evolve from sand pitches and cement wickets to having two world-class stadiums. Now, as the only homegrown player in Oman's squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, Mehmood is keen to make an impact on the grandest stage in the shortest format.
Seam-bowling all-rounder Mehmood has picked 19 wickets in 16 T20Is since the last T20 World Cup -- making Oman's second-highest wicket-taker in that period behind Shakeel Ahmed's 22. Having arrived early in Sri Lanka to acclimatise to the climate, weather, and conditions, Oman’s Group B fixtures against Sri Lanka, Australia, Ireland, and Zimbabwe represent both a challenge and an opportunity for a team determined to move beyond mere participation.
"Yes, it's a challenging group, plus if you look at the other side, it can give us a lot of experience moving forward. This time, we want to create an impact in this World Cup. So we are looking forward to it, and we are positive about it," said Mehmood in an exclusive conversation with IANS ahead of the mega event.
