In 2012 UAE beat Afghanistan on the way to regaining the ACC Trophy which had been theirs four times previously. They remain a side packed with match-winners and along with the die-hard stalwarts who have been the backbone of the side for the past half-a-dozen or so years, they are unearthing dynamic new talent. Competition for places in the national side is fierce, marshalled by evergreen Khurram Khan and Emirati native Mohammad Tauqir. At age-group level other Asian countries tend to find the UAE beatable but even there, such is their ability to throw up talented cricketers, they remain one of the stronger teams. The catchment area for cricketers is starting to spread outside the traditional confines of Sharjah and Dubai into the other Emirates. UAE pioneered the take-up of women’s cricket in the Gulf by fielding a team in the 2007 ACC Women’s Tournament and have subsequently continued to promote women’s participation in the game. |
