About Naseem Khushi
Naseem Khushi, wearing jersey number 17, is Oman’s explosive wicketkeeper-batsman and one of the most entertaining players in their T20 and ODI lineups. A naturally aggressive right-hander, Khushi is known for his fearless hitting, ability to clear boundaries at will, and his sharp reflexes behind the stumps. His style adds vital energy to Oman’s middle and lower order, especially in white-ball formats.
Born in Pakistan and settled in Oman, Khushi began his cricket journey as a street cricketer and rose through the domestic ranks with his powerful stroke play. He became known for his ability to finish innings with flair and has developed into Oman’s designated power-hitter in the death overs. His strike rate, especially in T20Is, regularly exceeds 140—making him one of Oman’s most impactful finishers.
Khushi's most notable performance came in the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifiers, where his whirlwind cameos helped Oman post competitive totals. He plays fearlessly against both pace and spin and is not afraid to take risks early in his innings. With the gloves, he’s equally effective—executing lightning-quick stumpings and energetic dives that showcase his athleticism and alertness.
He brings enthusiasm and positivity to the squad and is a valuable presence in pressure scenarios. As Oman continues building a dynamic white-ball team, Naseem Khushi’s dual role as a finisher and keeper makes him a key figure in their game strategy.
