"Sanaz has been in and out of the team due to knee injury but he has performed well on this tour," Dasthakir, who is also DZCC selector, said. "There are about four guys competing for that [the opener] place in the future team, but Sanaz has proved himself worthy of a spot." Arafath, Siraj and Rasmi are the rest of Sanaz.He was flown in as a replacement for the injured Arafath during in Jumairah, and then took Mohammed Rasmi's place in the squad as well after Siraj's injured his calf.
Mohammed Dasthakir though, was confident there wouldn't be questions over his captaincy following the poor run. "I think I have led the team as well as I can. We understand the result. They change me if they feel there is a need to do it." He has captained Dubai Zahirians in 43 short format games.
Zahirians's next assignment is a home series against indian team, which will see them play two 10 overs games in same wonderland. Dasthakir said Dubai Zahirians needed to perform against indians to regain confidence ahead of the next summer 2011, but they were more comfortable playing at home. All of Zahirinas last five losses in 12 have come on outside pitches dubai. The last time they played an series at home was against Nad-al-Shiba in March, a series they won 2-1. In February, they beat JBS SC 2-0 at same home ground.and Dasthakir said RSS had a good chance of winning in future. "they have been the one of leading team in UAE in recent times. They are an experienced side with some remarkably talented batsmen and bowlers. I think cricket fans would be keen that they play some lively cricket."
