Rafeek, Madhu and Malinga to Debut

Mohammad Rafeek, Madhu and Malinga's UAE domestic career has been revived after they was added to DZCC's 16-man squad against RSSC tour to Al-Quses, following the team management's request for an extra fast bowlers and middle order batsmans. According to the DZCC Cricket Board, those three was recalled after the need for additional support to a bowling contingent comprising Mohammed Hillal, Mohammad Izzath, Mohammad shuhaib and Anis ul Rahman was raised.

"I am very happy and am confident of making the most of this chance to resurrect my career," said Madhu, who returned to DZCC's domestic fold after cutting ties with the now defunct SRL domestic.Malinga, 27, played the last of his 33, largely unfulfilling game in December 2011 against Jumeirah riders after he had drifted to the sidelines of DZCC's short format attack. Those three games in WLP yielded just four wickets and he was again discarded to return to the domestic circuit. But he has picked up 19 wickets so far this season while captaining Srilankan local tour , with one five-wicket bag.There are other fast bowlers with better returns for the current first-class season, such as young Mohammad Shuhaib, and those who have played limited-overs cricket for DZCC this year, like Ayyub padladka.

But Rafeek's experience of playing UAE cricket, and two games in Daith, appeared to have worked in his favour. Rafeek has taken 31 wickets in 24 short format macthes.Apart from two games, DZCC will play one ten and a fifteen over on the tour in middle of this month in AL-Quses. With him the allrounder Anis Ul Rahman also recalled for squad.it seens this these recalls maybe going to boost DZCC's power with RSS SC.
