United Arab Emirates (UAE) have announced Muhammad Waseem as their new T20I captain to lead the team in their upcoming home series against New Zealand, starting Thursday.

Muhammad Waseem will lead the squad, while the list of players features the likes of Vriitya Aravind, Aayan Afzal Khan, Basil Hameed, Ethan D’Souza, Faraazuddin, Jash Giyanani, Zahoor Khan and Junaid Siddique.

Asif Khan, who scored the fastest ODI century for an Associate nation earlier this year, is set to make his T20I debut against the Blackcaps.

All-rounder Faraazuddin and spin bowler Jash Giyanani have earned their maiden T20I call-ups, thanks to their impressive performances in domestic cricket. Here is the UAE squad for T20Is against New Zealand:
