About Mehran Khan
Full Name: Mehran Khan
Date of Birth: April 13, 1989
Place of Birth: Peshawar, Pakistan
Role: All-Rounder
In a team filled with flamboyant hitters and fiery pacers, Mehran Khan goes about his job with quiet consistency and all-round capability. Wearing jersey number 24, Mehran is one of Oman’s most trusted utility players—someone who can bat with calm under pressure, bowl disciplined spells, and contribute to the team’s balance in every format of the game.
Born in Peshawar, Pakistan, Mehran Khan’s early life revolved around hard-fought games on the rugged pitches of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The cricketing culture in the region taught him grit and adaptability. These values stayed with him when he moved to Oman, where he embraced new opportunities with open arms. His performances in local leagues caught the eye of national selectors, and before long, he was drafted into Oman’s senior setup.
Mehran made his T20I debut in 2015, a significant time for Omani cricket as they were building a competitive squad to take on the best in the Associate world. From his debut, Mehran showcased two things that would define his career—commitment and versatility. Whether it’s a tight chase or a dry pitch requiring steady bowling, Mehran could be relied on.
As a right-arm medium pacer, he brings control more than express pace, often bowling crucial overs during the middle stages of the innings. His knack for breaking partnerships, bowling dot balls, and maintaining tight lines makes him an asset in the T20 and ODI formats. In T20Is, he has often picked up wickets at crucial moments, swinging games in Oman’s favor when others might go unnoticed.
But Mehran is more than just a bowler—he’s a very handy lower-order batter. He’s played several vital cameos when Oman’s top-order has stumbled. One such instance was during a League 2 fixture when Oman were under pressure chasing a tricky target, and Mehran held his nerve to guide the side home with an unbeaten 30*. His ability to adapt to the situation—sometimes aggressive, sometimes composed—is what makes him so dependable.
Though he doesn’t always headline match reports, his impact is deeply felt. Coaches and teammates praise him for his discipline, unselfishness, and willingness to play any role. He’s equally comfortable opening the bowling or finishing the innings with the bat—whatever the team needs.
Off the field, Mehran is a quiet leader. He prefers to let his game do the talking but is always there for younger players with advice and support. His strong work ethic, humble demeanor, and loyalty to Oman cricket make him one of the most respected figures in the dressing room.
Wearing jersey number 24, Mehran Khan is Oman’s unsung hero—a player who may not always grab headlines, but without whom the team wouldn’t function as smoothly. His journey from the streets of Peshawar to the international grounds of Oman is a story of hard work, heart, and humble excellence.
