UAE vs BAN 2025 T20Is: Team News
The United Arab Emirates welcomed three uncapped players, Ethan D'Souza, Matiullah Khan, and Haider Ali, while reappointing Muhammad Waseem as captain after he stepped down from T20I captaincy in October 2022. Players like Vriitya Aravind, Basil Hameed, and Junaid Siddiqui found themselves on the sidelines.
Bangladesh unleashed a 16-member squad for both tours, nominating Litton Das as their captain. Litton took over from Najmul Hossain Shanto, who still made the cut. The selection saw the return of several players such as Towhid Hridoy, Tanvir Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, and Shoriful Islam, who missed the West Indies series in December 2022.
Litton, who stepped in as the interim captain during that tour, led the team to a historic 3-0 clean sweep on foreign soil. He will command the side until the 2026 T20 World Cup, as disclosed by Bangladesh cricket operations chair Najmul Abedin.
