Muhammad Waseem will continue to serve as captain of the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) 17-man squad for the asia cup match schedule 2025. Fast bowler Matiullah Khan and left-arm spinner Simranjeet Singh, who were called up to boost the team's bowling options, are the main talking points.

Key Inclusions: Matiullah & Simranjeet

• With the new ball, Matiullah Khan is believed to make breakthroughs and bring raw pace. He is a useful addition because of his capacity to produce bounce on UAE songs.

• In the middle overs, left-arm spinner Simranjeet Singh provides control. When facing stronger batting lineups like India and Pakistan, his experience will be vital.

Having missed recent assignments, both players were a part of the setup earlier. Their comeback gives the team more depth and diversity, which balances the attack's tempo and spin components.

Captain Waseem Leads the Charge

The most dependable hitter in the UAE, captain Muhammad Waseem, will take the lead. Waseem, who is renowned for his aggressive top-order batting, will play a crucial part in establishing the mood during powerplays.

He gets supported by players that offer regularity and expertise, such as Vriitya Aravind, Basil Hameed, Zahoor Khan, and Aayan Khan.
