Faisal Shah

Faisal Shah is a right-arm medium pacer who represents Oman in international cricket. Born in Dir, Pakistan, in January 1997, he later became part of Oman’s cricketing setup, bringing with him the experience of competing in the UAE’s domestic T10 and T20 tournaments.

Faisal first came to notice through his performances in the Emirates D10 and D20 competitions, where he represented Abu Dhabi. Over the years, he established himself as a handy bowler in the shorter formats, often delivering useful spells with the new ball and at the death. His ability to break partnerships and maintain control under pressure earned him a place in Oman’s national team.

In domestic T20s, Faisal has taken wickets consistently, with best figures of 3 for 36, highlighting his knack for striking at crucial junctures. Though batting has not been his primary role, he has chipped in with lower-order contributions when required. His fielding and work ethic add to his overall value in the squad.

For Oman, a team that continues to nurture emerging talent, Faisal’s presence adds depth to the pace-bowling department. Although still relatively new at the international level, his experience in competitive leagues across the Gulf has provided him with the foundation to adapt quickly. With more opportunities on the bigger stage, he has the potential to grow into a reliable seamer for Oman in white-ball cricket.
