Chance for Zahirians to test bench strength

This is one time the Zahirian's aren't minding the harsh Nad-al-Hammar sun. a clear hot Friday was a welcome sight. Still it needed a few days or a week of sun for them to be able to come out and train at the Sector in Ground, the venue of their comming tour game starting next friday Morning.The next three weeks in dubai are forecast to be sunny, something no Zahirians is likely to complain about.

"I am trying to work out the way modern cricket works," the dubai zahirians captain, Mohammed Dasthakir  said two days before the last game held in Wonderland park, That is exactly what makes this game interesting from a team selection point of view.It provides an opportunity for New Mohammed Shadeek, the taller, slightly correcter version of Mohammed Hillal; Mohammed Rasmi, the tall all-rounder released by Madawala richerds (who like Akurana and Madawala are playing the finals of the both Primiar Leagues); and Mohammed Nawshard and Ayyub Padladka to challenge the set combination. Three of them should get to play this game.

Mohammed Faris spoke about what else the Zahirians were looking to achieve in the game. "To try and get back in the swing of things," he said. "To spend some time in the middle. The bowlers spend some time there, getting through different spells of bowling, new ball, old ball, and the smears get overs under their belts."It is an interesting game for DZCC too, because four members of the squad will be not playing again. Although Mohammed Arafath and Mohammed Haithar played in to team, this will be the first real test of how well they have recovered from the ruled outs that curtailed their stays in Dubai.
