The T-20 cricket World cup 2016 event, 1st part of the qualifiers were held in 2015: The ICC T-20 cricket qualifier of 2015, in which participated 14 nations instead of 16 (in the last edition). Oman cricket team were ranked last like 14th (overall ranking- 29 or 30*).
The ICC have there, 6 slots were open for there qualifications for 2nd part of qualifiers team. And there are first 5 Following nations were to qualify: Ireland, Scotland, Hong Kong, Netherlands and Afghanistan. And the 6th one team is ? Oman (What Luck?). They defeated Namibia. The win was such a huge when you consider that Oman team had only played one-day in Division Five of World Cricket League, while Namibia have already been in a ICC Cricket World Cup in (2003) once.
In the 2nd part of qualifiers, there are two kinds of groups have been made each of 4 teams. Oman are placed alongside Ireland, Netherlands and Bangladesh.
Only the first top 8 cricket teams according to ICC T-20 cricket rankings got direct entry. Zimbabwe and Bangladesh have direct entry into 2nd part of qualifiers.
In last match Oman played their first match against Ireland very well played by Oman, supposedly one of the heavy-weights among the competing teams for qualifiers. In Second Batting, required 65 runs for Oman required in their last 6 overs with remaining of 5 wickets. And finally Oman won it from Ireland. This may sound like a pretty ordinary feat so many, but it is not.
For a nation, which is trying to find its feet in international cricket, its pretty big. From nowhere, Oman are suddenly visible to all and to ICC. They still have a long path to go and success. They will most certainly not even qualify for the main draw, given that only 1 team from every group of qualifies, but people should come to know about the fight they are showing through their so hard work and subsequent results.
I feel its very important for me to share this story of the upcoming newbies of cricket for the team: Oman
whose the one Player who played Tests cricket Matches for two countries

India is the only country to hold the record in that time of winning all kinds of format like the 60-overs Test game, 50-overs ODI game and 20-overs T-20 cricket World Cup.

Chris Gayle
The West Indies Cricket Player Chris Henry Gayle is the only cricketer man who has smashed the very first ball of a Test match for an over-boundary.
It was the first Test match of Chris Gayle which was between West Indies and Bangladesh, at Mirpur Bangladesh in 2012. Chris Gayle was swung the first ball of the match, bowled by debutante Sohag Gazi, high over the long-on boundary of the match. 18 runs came from the first over for West Indies of that Test match.
The Pakistani All-rounder cricketer Shahid khan Afridi was a flown in to play for the Pakistan team from West Indies to Nairobi in 1996 and they did not have such a proper bat. That's when Waqar Younis gave 'Young Shahid khan Afridi' Sachin Tendulkar’s bat. Afridi hit 11 sixes and six boundaries with the bat and scored a 37-ball century against Sri Lankan cricket team which was the fastest ODI century in the world cricket. The record, broken later by Corey Anderson (36 balls), now belongs to South Africa's AB de Villiers (31 balls).
The Indian Vinod Kambli's Test match average is better than his childhood friend of Sachin Tendulkar
The Indian cricket team player Vinod Kambli played only 17 Test matches which included two back to back double tons. Kambli’s Test average is 54.20 while his childhood friend of Sachin Tendulkar averages 53.78 after 200 Tests.
The Indian Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's played for Pakistan before India
"Sachin for Pakistan! Are you Serious?"
Yeah, its real! Can you just imagine, before India, Sachin Tendulkar was played for Pakistan? Yes, the incident is true as this happened during a practice match between India and Pakistan in 1987, at the Brabourne Stadium where the Indian cricketer Sachin's came on the field for Pakistan as a substitute fielder first time in the history.
