A 17-member squad for UAE has been announced for the Asia Cup, beginning on September 9. Opener Muhammad Waseem will be the captain of the side.
UAE are in Group A and the other teams in this group are India, Oman and Pakistan. Two teams from each group will qualify for the next round. Considering that, chances of UAE advancing are low.
Currently, UAE are playing a triangular series with Pakistan and Afghanistan. Although they have lost both the matches that they played in the series so far, some of their players are in good form. Asif Khan scored a brilliant 77 in the first match, while captain Waseem and wicketkeeper-batter Rahul Chopra scored fifties in the second match.
UAE will start their Asia Cup campaign against India on September 10 in Dubai. They will play against Oman on September 15, and their last group match will be against Pakistan on September 17.
UAE squad for Asia Cup 2025: Muhammad Waseem (captain), Alishan Sharafu, Aryansh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Asif Khan, Dhruv Parashar, Ethan D’ Souza, Haider Ali, Harshit Kaushik, Junaid Siddique, Matiullah Khan, Muhammad Farooq, Muhammad Jawadullah, Muhammad Zohaib, Rahul Chopra (wicketkeeper), Rohid Khan, Simranjeet Singh and Saghir Khan.
