Oman’s mix of seasoned campaigners and fresh talent could finally ensure the Gulf nation have an impact at the forthcoming ICC Twenty20 World Cup, says captain Jatinder Singh.

The 36-year-old is eyeing a breakthrough performance at the tournament being staged jointly by India and Sri Lanka.

“I see a great blend of both experience and youth in the team. These guys have some serious talent and they know the task in hand,” Singh told Reuters in a video call.

“They have just played a little less cricket compared to the others and will carry less pressure in them because it is a great platform for them to just showcase their talent and take the team forward.”
