31-year-old wicketkeeper Vinayak Shukla struggled behind the stumps as Oman emerged as one of the worst fielding teams in the Asia Cup 2025. The 17th edition of the tournament began in the UAE. Eight teams are competing at two venues. India and Pakistan advanced from Group A, while Sri Lanka and Bangladesh progressed from Group B. The group stage ended with India defeating Oman. Oman's fielding was disappointing throughout. They dropped catches, and their ground fielding was poor. The team relies on experienced players, with most over 30 years old. Their weak fielding made it hard to pressure opponents.
