United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the West Indies are set to lock horns in the first game of the three-match ODI series on Sunday, June 4. The Sharjah Cricket Stadium will host the contest.
West Indies, led by Shai Hope, have a relatively young squad at their disposal. Hope and Roston Chase are two of the most experienced players in the Caribbean setup for the upcoming series.
Brandon King has proven himself time and again. Keemo Paul is their most experienced cricketer in the bowling department. West Indies will be looking to get some crucial wins under their belt before the World Cup qualifiers.
The UAE, on the other hand, will also look to get some decent practice before the Qualifiers to be held later this month in Zimbabwe. They will be captained by top-order batter Muhammad Waseem.
Zahoor Khan and Rohan Mustafa are veterans of UAE cricket and a lot will depend on them. Karthik Meiyappan got a hat-trick against Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup last year. The likes of Basil Hameed, Vriitya Aravind, and Aayan Afzal Khan have also done well for them.
