Include him self all rounder Mohammed Nisar added to squad after 10 months.Mohammed Rimaz after 17 weeks can these two boost Zahirians on this friday against Ajman Sports Club?Ayyub Padladka the Dubai zahirians Middle order batsman and part time seamer have scored 914 runs in 33 short format games in 24.60 avvarage with a two half cencurys and hold 19 wickets.so selecters keep lot faith on him to make better perpormens in WLP this friday.

Team news
 Nisar is likely to come in as Shamil's replacement. Nisar he is yet to open the score in wonderland, so Nisar could open the batting with Mohammed Siraj. DZCC, if they choose to go in with five bowlers, could give Irshad, Malinga, Rimaz and Rafeek to go with Hillal. Although this would be a good chance to experiment with five bowlers, it seems likely DZCC will stick to their preferred route of a bowling-heavy line-up.

Dubai Zahirians (probable) : Dasthakir, Siraj, Ayyub, Irshad, Rafeek, Malinga, Nisar, Imran, Hillal, Zahir and Rimaz.

Pitch and conditions
The recent heatwave in WLP has abated to be replaced by more not normal conditions with hot wind. DZCC's pace attack won't mind overhead conditions to help them and there is a chance of some dust during the weekend.which should encouraged batsmen and bowlers who are good enough to take advantage.
