Competition for places in the national side is fierce. They reached the Final of the four-day ICC Intercontinental Shield at the end of 2010 and at the start of the year were just one win away from qualifying for the ICC World Twenty20. Kabir Khan, the coach that took Afghanistan to the top has been recruited as the UAE’s new coach. In his first tournament in charge, UAE won Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Division 2 with some revitalised veterans coming good alongside some fresh new talent. 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 strongest 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. |
