The Oman Cricket has been brought under scrutiny after the players claimed that they are yet to receive a single penny from the prize money the International Cricket Council allotted for all the teams that qualified for the group stage in the 2024 T20 World Cup jointly hosted by USa and Barbados. The ICC has granted $225,000 (approx. Rs 19,301,737) to the Oman board after they finished at the bottom of Group C. And as per ICC rules, the prize money was supposed to be divided equally amongst the participating players within 21 days of the conclusion of the tournament. As per the World Cricketers' Association (WCA), several cricket boards that took part in the tournament are still to clear the full prize money owed to their players. Among them, Oman Cricket stands out as the only board that has not paid its players any amount so far. Adding to the woes, the players who brought the issue to the table have been blacklisted from the board. An India-born Oman player, Kashyap Prajapati, informed ESPN Cricinfo that he has been scratched off from the Central Contract List and is now stuck in the US looking for a stable fortune. He said, "Our lives have been upended over this issue; we've lost our spot in the team, our contracts have been torn up, and we have been forced to leave the country."

Kashyap said, "It's just so confusing and we don't understand why the ICC isn't able to ensure we get paid the prize money we have earned, and why there isn't a safe space for us to raise concerns?" Notably, Kashyap has played 37 ODIs and 47 T20Is for Oman. Meanwhile, pacer Fayyaz Butt has echoed the same sentiment. However he is in US after his employment Visa has been revoked and is now out of Oman looking for a job. Fayyaz who played 30 ODIs and 47 T20Is for Oman, said, "It's been a massive loss for my career and professionally. I had to leave Oman. I'm not working at the moment, looking for opportunities but our playing careers are over." Usually, Gulf countries provide work visas based on their employment. Notably, there are no proper rules against this and thus the ICC can't take any action to punish the Oman cricket board. Last year, ICC and WCA agreed on a prize money policy for players across ten major events until 2027.
