Good luck with this mate, definitely deserve it!

I’d like to welcome Soundscomplex, Raghav and Abcdefgh to the the NAT team as my assistants, thanks for offering to help guys.

We have won the hosting a rights for the upcoming T20 tour choosing spinning pitches with Dry, Slow and Crumbling and matches to played in Australia. Final selections for the tour is this Sunday and I am confident in the current squad chosen

good luck guys, stoked to see a full team on board

Could someone update what's the minimum a player should be to be considered for NAT selection ? Thanks.

The below would get you into consideration but other factors come into play aswell

Bat - Exceptional Batting/Technique, Spectacular Fielding, Power Outstanding
Bowl Seam - Exceptional Bowling/Technique, Spectacular Fielding, Power Outstanding
Bowl Spin - Exceptional Bowling/Technique, Spectacular Fielding
AR - Exceptional Bowling/Technique, Outstanding Fielding, Power Outstanding
WK - Exceptional Batting/Technique/ Keeping, Expert Fielding, Power Outstanding

Thanks to everyone who voted for me in the elections, I am really excited about the next 2 seasons. I am fairly happy with where the squad is at with some nice young talent coming through

If anyone has any questions about players etc feel free to contact me

Well the 1st tour of season isn’t far away now and the squad has been selected, thanks to all managers who’s players have been selected. There’s a few new faces in the team with Ali, Fattah, Zakiyy, Ahmad, H Qasem, Rashid and Turk all making there Senior National debut. Dry, Crumbling and Sticky are the pitches so will be a challenge for the batters.

Tour 1 Summary

A disappointing 1st tour going 0-5, the tour included 2 many batting collapses and poor bowling performances

Game 1 vs USA - Lost by 123 runs
Overall poor bowling performance with lack of wickets led to a total to big for the batters who lost wickets in chunks under pressure and only managed 101 runs

Game 2 vs Pakistan - Lost by 3 runs
Good start to the game having Pakistan 5/50 before letting them make 208, batters started well to get to 5/186 until losing 5/19 in a disappointing collapse

Game 3 vs Canada - Lost by 24 runs
Terrible bowling performance giving up 284 runs on Dry, batters played fairly well but didn’t score quick enough falling short

Game 4 vs Bangladesh - Lost by 2 wickets
Batters started extremely well on sticky getting to 3/109 before losing 7/34 to finish on 143, bowlers couldn’t defend the total

Game 5 vs New Zealand - Lost by 68 runs
Decent bowling performance giving up 178 runs, batters started well at 2/77 before losing 8/33 to finish up on 110

Squad for the T20 tour will be finalised this Sunday, will most likely be a similar squad with similar pitches

Below is the squad for T20 tour, have gone with a bit of a future with a mostly younger team while not really compromising current ability. Rashers, Saad, Ooohood, Vidic, Sameh, Hassan and Jaber will all be making there Nat debut.

I would like to welcome marsmarwan to the UAE Nat Team. As can be seen from his thread he is an old player returning to the game and it’s great to get another UAE supporter

Certainly not messing around, he organised is 1st friendly within the hour of being assistant, I like the enthusiasm
