It is a great privilege and also an honor for Oman Cricket and Oman as a country to have been given this recognition for all our achievements and all the infrastructure developments that have happened in the country over the years. We have an exciting 18 months to 2 years ahead, to come up with lots of plans for the development and growth of Asian Cricket.
