Dasthkir to captain in Nad-Al-Shiba Tour



Mohammed Dasthakir has been named as DZCC's captain again for their tour Nad-Al-Shiba of  tomarrow, after the selectors opted to rest the Temporary captain Mohammed Razeen, as well as their leading strike batsman, Mohammed Sanaz, from the three Match tour against Shiba Riders in Nad-Al-Shiba, in which Mohammed Siraj will once again take charge.

Sanaz has been rested from the tour in order to undergo a specialist review and a programme of rehabilitation for his chronic right knee injury. In a statement, the DZCB anticipated that, following his rehabilitation period, he would be fully fit and available for selection for the next tours.Two capped players, the DZCC opener Siraj and the DZCC former skipper&all-rounder Mohamed Nazeer , have won places in squad while another capped player, Shafi all-rounder, Ayyoub Padladka has been included in the squad.

Team Selector's Board said: "Mohammed Razeen has provided outstanding leadership for the team in forms of the game over the past 1 month and the selectors feel it is important that he takes a break ahead of availability of Mohammed Dasthakir.Sanaz is the only frontline batsman to miss the trip. "We want to try and keep this unit together as much as possible," said More. "One or two batters didn't perform as well as they might have done in Ajman, but captaincy is a mental battle and we want Dastha to come back refreshed for the summer. He's had an arduous time, the selectors feel he use break well, and this is an opportunity.

 "We are delighted to welcome Moahmmed Nazeer to squad for the first time after his yearly vaction. He enjoyed an excellent season with DZCC last year, made a strong impression while he was in UAE with the DZCC squad and is a bowler with the potential to make a real impact in UAE domestic cricket."
