Squad spirit hailed as UAE clinch Bangladesh series surprise
It's just the second time UAE have claimed T20I series honours against a Full Member, with the first back in 2021 when they defeated Ireland, also 2-1.
The feat is more remarkable considering the inexperience of the home side, naming five uncapped players before the series started, and skipper Waseem, who also claimed Player of the Series honours, sang the side's praises.
'(I'm) very happy they did very well throughout the series,' Waseem shared during the broadcast.
'We were not losing our hopes, and we were giving hope to everyone. We can chase every score in Sharjah, or against every team, and we are used to it here. To be honest, I'm very happy.'
"I'm very happy we have made history. This series means a lot to us. It's very helpful for us in the future. And I'm very happy with the performance of the boys.
'The way Asif (Khan) played, Alishan (Sharafu), Rahul Chopra, and the way Haider (Ali) bowled, and the other bowlers. I'm very happy with the performance of my whole team.'

UAE cricketers high on ‘self-belief' after historic win over Bangladesh
22 May 2025 23:49 KUUMAR SHYAM (ABU DHABI)The UAE cricket team achieved a landmark triumph by securing their first-ever bilateral Twenty20 International (T20I) series win over Bangladesh, clinching the three-match series 2-1 at the Sharjah Cricket the decisive third T20I, UAE chased down Bangladesh's target of 163 for a commanding seven-wicket victory late on Wednesday night. Alishan Sharafu, displaying maturity beyond his 22 years, remained unbeaten on 68 runs off 47 balls, scoring five boundaries and three sixes. He was ably supported by Asif Khan, who contributed an aggressive 41 not out off 26 deliveries, featuring five sixes. Their unbroken 81-run partnership off 51 balls ensured UAE reached the target with five balls to is also a major highlight of the UAE's performances under Lalchand Rajput, who took over the reins as national team coach last year. The team's success reflects the progress of UAE cricket and its potential to challenge established cricketing nations, said Rajput in the post-match interaction as celebrations continued late into the night. UAE captain Muhammad Waseem was named Player of the Series for his consistent performances.'I think it's a great moment for UAE cricket and I think it's a changing phase,' Rajput said. 'This is the first stepping stone and I'm sure you will see many more of these because this victory will go a long way in changing the players' mindset.'The way we chased, the way Alishan and Lala [Asif Khan's nickname] played; that was fantastic. That's what we want because it is important not to leave the composure at any moment. We just wanted to bat deep and that partnership between Sharafu and Khan was important.'Partnerships were the grey area in the first match when the UAE put up a valiant fight in chasing a huge total after Parvaiz Hossain Emon scored a century. Interestingly, a third match was added as a late change between the two cricket boards. The UAE had won the second match in which Bangladesh opted to rest Emon for a groin niggle and experienced bowler Mustafizur Rahman leaving the squad to play in the Indian Premier did not get the start they wanted with Dhruv Parashar taking out the dangerman Emon and the top order collapsed. Left-arm spinner Haider Ali, who made his debut for the UAE with the first match, delivered a game-changing spell, claiming three wickets for just seven runs in his four overs. Pacers Matiullah Khan and Saghir Khan also made significant contributions, taking two wickets each. Rearguard action from Tanzid Hasan (40 runs) and Jaker Ali (41 runs) helped Bangladesh reach a respectable total of 162 for nine. 'Self-belief and mindset are the two important things when you compete at the highest level,' Rajput added. 'When you play against a Test playing country, yes, they are more mature because they play more cricket. But we are not that far behind. That's where confidence and self-belief is important and we showed that.'

Australia - Road to the World Test Championship Final
Scene set for epic World Test Championship Final South Africa and Australia are ready to battle it out in the ICC World Test Championship Final at Lord's from June 11 2025 Australia squad for the WTC Final: Pat Cummins (c), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Matt Kuhnemann, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Steve Smith (vc), Mitchell Starc, Beau Webster. Travelling reserve: Brendan Doggett Having secured the iconic mace in June 2023, the title holders had a sluggish start to their third World Test Championship campaign, but picked up pace eventually and punched a ticket to the final against South Africa at Lord's starting June 11th . Here is a look at the six series that the side featured in on their way to the Ultimate Test: Australia established early dominance in the 2023 Ashes, securing a close win in Birmingham (by two wickets), before taking an exciting contest at Lord's (by 43 runs), to secure a 2-0 lead. However, England struck back in the third Test with a three-wicket victory on the back of stunning performances from Ben Stokes in the first innings (80), Harry Brook in the second (75) and Mark Wood's magic with the ball throughout the Test (5/34, 2/66). Needing just a draw to retain the Ashes, Australia proceeded to do exactly that in the fourth Test, holding up against the hosts with some help from the weather, while England managed to fight back in the final game as well to make it 2-2. Mitchell Starc was chosen as Australia's Player of the Series with 23 wickets across the five Tests.

Australia then faced Pakistan in a three-match Test series at home in December 2023. The hosts continued their dominance against Pakistan at home with a 3-0 series whitewash to make it 17 Test wins on the trot against the Asian side since 1999. Australia secured wins by 360 runs in the first Test, 79 runs in the second Test and by eight wickets in the third Test. Skipper Pat Cummins was consistent across the three matches and was named the Player of the Series for his 19 wickets. Meanwhile, in a significant development, one of Australia's opening stalwarts across formats, David Warner called time on his red-ball career upon the conclusion of the final Test against Pakistan in Sydney. David Warner departs in what could be his final international appearance | AUS v IND | T20WC 2024 Warner is dismissed against India at the T20 World Cup in 2024 Kraigg Brathwaite's West Indies were up next at home and the Australian side had to settle for a share of the spoils as the series finished tied with one victory apiece. The first Test in Adelaide saw Australia continue their unbeaten run at home with a comfortable win. Travis Head scored a brilliant 119 off 134 deliveries in the first innings, meanwhile Josh Hazlewood was in sizzling form with nine wickets across both innings as Australia secured a victory by 10 wickets. The second Test, a day-night encounter in Brisbane, was a West Indies performance for the ages. Featuring in just his second Test, pacer Shamar Joseph, overcame a toe injury and put up the performance of a lifetime in the second innings, picking up 7/68 and halting Australia eight runs short of their ask. For the first time since the 1996/97 season, the Caribbean side had won a Test in Australia. This was also Australia's first Test loss on home soil since India were the victors at the same venue in 2021. Pat Cummins - ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year | ICC Awards 2023 The Australian captain was excellent in all formats across 2023 Next, Australia went across the Tasman to take on neighbouring rivals New Zealand. The visitors secured a 2-0 series win against New Zealand, winning the first Test by a comfortable margin of 172 runs at Wellington courtesy of a Nathan Lyon 10-wicket haul. The Kiwis fought back in the second Test, and after conceding an advantage in the first innings managed to set up a target of 279. Early strikes from Ben Sears and Matt Henry left Australia reduced to 80/5. However, resilient batting from Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey and Pat Cummins saw the tourists through. Winning moment of #WTC23 Final The Aussies celebrate as they claim the 2023 World Test Championship Final against India Coming off a disastrous home series against New Zealand, India showed renewed vigour in Perth, winning the first Test by 295 runs. Stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah was their star, registering inspiring bowling figures of 8/72. But in the second Test in Adelaide, a pink-ball encounter, Pat Cummins' side came back strongly on the back of Travis Head's heroics in the first innings. He scored 140 off 141 deliveries. Meanwhile, Cummins and Starc shone themselves too, with seven and eight scalps respectively. Australia dominated a rain-affected encounter in Brisbane - albeit a draw - but the downside was key pacer Josh Hazlewood picking up an injury and being ruled out for the remainder of the series with a calf strain. The Boxing Day Test in Melbourne was a Test cricket masterclass from Australia. While the hosts dominated the majority of the Test, they overcame India's resolve on the fifth day to take a win in the final hour of the game. A 3-1 series win would have ensured Australia's place in the top two of the WTC Standings, thus confirming their spot in the final even before they had played their last series. And Scott Boland, leading with a sensational seam-bowling performance, ensured just that for the hosts in Sydney. Despite a slender lead in the first innings, India lost their way following an injury to star pacer Bumrah, who finished with a staggering 32 wickets in the series at an average of 13.06. Boland's career-best 10/76 ensured a modest target for the hosts in the second innings, and they overcame the ask of 162 against an injured Indian bowling lineup with six wickets to spare.
