Zeeshan Maqsood is the face of modern Omani cricket—calm, consistent, and courageous. Wearing jersey number 90, he is not just the captain of Oman’s national team but also its heartbeat, a symbol of their rise in international cricket. His story is one of leadership through performance, where actions speak louder than words and humility walks hand-in-hand with excellence. Born on October 24, 1987, in Pakistan, Zeeshan later moved to Oman and quickly became one of the most influential cricketers in the country. With his balanced skills and strong temperament, he earned his place in the national team and, eventually, the captaincy—an honour he carries with poise. As an all-rounder, Zeeshan plays a double role, anchoring innings with the bat and applying pressure with the ball, a combination that makes him indispensable. With the bat, Zeeshan is solid and reliable. A left-hander with a textbook technique, he is known for building innings under pressure. He has played some of Oman’s most important knocks on the global stage, including a memorable batting masterclass of 109 against Papua New Guinea in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021—becoming the first Omani player to score a century in an ICC tournament. His ability to read situations and adjust his tempo is what makes him so vital. His left-arm orthodox spin is just as crucial. Zeeshan brings control and subtle variation to his bowling, often tying down one end while taking key wickets in the middle overs. He rarely bowls loose deliveries, and his economy rate reflects the discipline he brings to the game. Under pressure, he becomes even more effective, turning matches through tight spells and calm decision-making. But Zeeshan’s influence extends beyond numbers. As a leader, he’s calm under fire and leads with dignity. He doesn't scream or show frustration—instead, he motivates with belief. His steady hand has guided Oman through several high-stakes qualifiers and World Cup appearances, showing the world that Oman is more than just a rising team—it’s a resilient one. Off the field, Zeeshan is known for his humility. He remains grounded despite his achievements and is deeply involved in growing the sport in Oman. Whether it’s mentoring young players or participating in community events, Zeeshan carries the responsibility of being a role model with grace. Zeeshan Maqsood is not just Oman’s captain—he is its compass. He has guided the team from associate obscurity to the T20 World Cup stage, setting standards with both bat and ball. Under his leadership, Oman plays with purpose, discipline, and belief. And for as long as Zeeshan wears the red of Oman, the team will walk taller, dream bigger, and aim higher.
