UAE names squad that will tour Netherlands

The Emirates Cricket Board has named the squad that will represent the UAE in their upcoming tour of the Netherlands.

Muhammad Naveed returns as captain of the side, which also includes Zawar Farid and Waheed Ahmed.

The two countries will play each other in four T20 Internationals starting on August 3.

"The ICC World T20 qualifiers are fast approaching and it is our goal to finish well within the top six, subsequently securing direct qualification into the main tournament," said Waleed Bukhatir, Emirates Cricket Board Member and Chief Selector.

"While the team has remained exceptionally committed to their fitness and skills sessions, preparations now need to be taken a step further. This bilateral series with the Netherlands will provide a strong platform to consolidate our efforts, assess performance and implement programmes for further development," he said.
