In Oman – any accredited NRH media that are yet to collect their media gift pack are requested to do so between 2:30pm and 4:30pm tomorrow from Oman Cricket Academy Ground.

Accreditation for each day is being provided for both matches at a venue. So, accreditation for one match automatically allows you to attend the other one.

The media interactions will be held on a hybrid model, allowing a limited number of journalists to join in person with the global media allowed to join remotely. Those joining remotely, please login ahead of expected time of the media interaction.

NRH camerapersons are not allowed at the pre-match and post-match media conferences. Press conference clips will be uploaded on the Online Media Zone for TV channels and websites only. These cannot be shared on any Social Media platforms. Filming is not allowed inside venues on match days.

Those attending matches in Abu Dhabi need to produce proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of attending a match, as per government guidelines. Cost is to be borne by the media.
