Muhammad Waseem, a cricket player from the United Arab Emirates, will captain the national squad in the Pearl of Africa T20 Tri-Series, which will take place in Uganda this month. The tri-nation competition will also feature Kenya and Nigeria, promising an exciting showcase of emerging cricket talent across the continent.
Waseem, known for his aggressive top-order batting and recent leadership roles, is expected to bring experience, firepower, and strategic edge to the UAE squad. The tournament will provide a crucial opportunity for the team to fine-tune combinations and build momentum ahead of future ICC qualifiers and international commitments.
The series would include multiple Twenty20 matches with the goal of encouraging intercontinental cricket cooperation and providing lesser-known teams with a competitive stage, all set against the backdrop of Uganda’s burgeoning cricket fervour. Under Waseem’s guidance, this will be a test of depth for the UAE as well as an opportunity for young players to excel.
The UAE Cricket Board has stated that it is confident in the team’s preparedness for the matches that are planned throughout the month. Cricket fans across Africa and the Gulf are eagerly anticipating the series as it promises high-energy cricket and rising star performances.
