Muhammad Waseem Returns As UAE Captain For T20Is Against Bangladesh

By IANS News May 15, 2025 • 17:52 PM View: 729

Cricket World Cup League: Muhammad Waseem has been reinstated as captain of the UAE T20I team for the upcoming two-match series against Bangladesh in Sharjah, set to begin later this week.

Waseem had previously stepped down from the role in October last year after leading the side in 26 matches between 2023 and 2024, citing a desire to focus on his ODI batting.

The two-match series scheduled on May 17 and 19 will be UAE's first T20I appearance since December, when they won the Gulf T20 Championship by defeating Kuwait in the final. The level of competition will rise significantly with Bangladesh as their opponent, compared to the earlier tournament that featured Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar.
