Waseem to lead UAE's squad as T20 tri-series begins in Sharjah tomorrow

The series features Pakistan and Afghanistan besides the hosts UAE.

UAE will play Pakistan in their opening match of the tournament on Saturday. The tournament will provide the ideal preparation opportunity to the three teams ahead of the eight-team ACC Asia Cup 2025 which will be also played in the UAE.

Fast bowler Junaid Siddique is also amongst the known players to be included in UAE's squad.

Junaid, 32, has played 59 ODIs and 71 T20Is for the UAE and has picked up 76 and 96 wickets in the two white-ball formats respectively.

Apart from Junaid, who last played a T20I game in December 2024, uncapped all-rounder Harshit Kaushik, leg spin bowling all-rounder Muhammad Farooq and left-arm pacer Muhammad Jawadullah have been included in place of Akif Raja, Matiullah Khan and Zuhaib Zubair.

The rest of the UAE squad looks familiar, thanks to the likes of captain Waseem, Alishan Sharafu, Aryansh Sharma, Rahul Chopra, Muhammad Zohaib and Saghir Khan.

I’m a school teacher: SEND provision changes lives

In the foreword to a report by the centre-right think tank Policy Exchange, the former health secretary Jeremy Hunt argues that children are being overdiagnosed with mental health and neurodivergent conditions. In England, one in five children has been identified with additional needs, and Hunt says that the rise in Send spending “risks the financial sustainability of local government.” The idea of this claimed “overdiagnosis” is baffling to me because, as a secondary school teacher, I've seen firsthand how labyrinthine and difficult the process is.
