Siraj Aware of Fitness Challenge

 Mohammed Siraj , Dubai Zahirians wicket keeping batsman , is aware that issues regarding his weight and fitness are likely to remain throughout his domestic career but he is determined to show that he is worthy of leader.when he have secure draw the series couple of weeks ago against NICC in wonderland park.

Mohammed Siraj was handed his first call-up to a squad after 6 weeks as a replacement for Mohammed Razeen last year, following a productive few months in the short format set-up. He could yet be considered for the game in WLP although team director Mohammed Farman said Siraj still had "significant work" to do. "Fitness is a key factor and everyone has to work hard on their fitness - some more than others," Siraj said. "It's probably an issue that will stay with me, but I'm not frustrated. The more work you do, the better you feel. Hopefully I am doing the right things now."

"But the best advice I got was when I was told that when I started playing cricket I did so as I loved the game. At that point I wasn't thinking of playing for Zahira and so why think about it now, I was asked. That set me thinking and slowly I regained my confidence and got back to normal.""That was something I found it tough to deal with initially but slowly got used to that as well and started to enjoy my batting once again."

Zahirians's top order is under pressure going into this series following their failure in the last sesson during the 5-3 compration. They were often rendered scoreless by top orders in that series. Although NICC's attack doesn't possess the same quality as before they does, the pitches, especially in wonderland, should offer assistance."Our players are capable of improving their performances against this type of bowling and being a lot better than we were against NICC. Only time will tell how much of an improvement we can make."Anas for official page.

However, Siraj's batting is more of a problem, with him unable to exit the slump which worsened during the Friendly Match 2011. He scored 16 runs in that campaign and has posted 9 and 7 in the first two short format matches. "We are pretty confident that given the same opportunities Mohammed Siraj will repay us the different way. I believe he has got through to the start of the 2012 to sort it out and we are confident he well and truly will have it sorted before then." 

Dubai Zahirians face tough warm-up

Dubai Zahirians will step up their preparations for the first game after seven weeks against Shiba Risers when they face a strong JBS SC side at WLP. It's a sign of the depth in Zahirians cricket that a formidable second team can be and they should give the visiters a good idea of their readiness for,

Mohammed Rasmi and Mohammed Saflin, along with the other three players who spent an extra week in Srilanka, have arrived to Dubai so the Zahirians are now at full strength. Facing the likes of Mohammed Arafath, Mohammed Rikaz and Ayyub Padladkka, who has made an impressive return to action after a career-threatening back injury's, will be a good test of adjustment for them on a WLP pitch that often offers help to the pace bowlers like Mohammed Hillal and Mohammed Roshan.

 Regardless of their form, however, Mohammed Ziyad and mohammed Fayaz will line up in the  side alongside mohammed Dasthakir, Mohammed Sadeek and Mohammed Rimaz. This match will help Mohammed Farman, DZCC's interim coach, and the selectors decide who will be the final specialist batsman - presuming that is the balance they opt for. will be given a chance to press his claim after Mohammed Ziyad did the job in the last match. Ziyad's useful batting could edge the stakes in his favour.

 The zahirians selectors will also be watching closely. There is a long season ahead and a pool of reserve talent will come in handy. At least one of will be appearing in Rasmi with a replacement needed for Mohammed Siraj at No. 1, while there is also a batting vacancy due to Mohammed Razeen's Vacation.

'We prepared ourselves well for winning' - Anas

DZCC Personel Advisor Mohammed Anas has said he is elated with his maiden series victory - 2-1 over Raffals D Hotel - and is pleased that batsmen apart from Mohammed Faris & Mohammed Hillal played important roles in the success.Dubai Zahirians lost the Jumeirah Battle and the first Game in last series but bounced back to win two matches in a row.

"Any time you win a series it is obviously a special moment. Rafals Dubai aren't rated highly, but neither are we so we couldn't have taken them for granted and we didn't take them for granted," Anas told, "We knew they were going to put up a good fight, but we sort of steeled ourselves for that. We prepared ourselves well for winning. Everybody in the dressing room, especially all those guys who were in Jumeirah when it was really difficult, are obviously very happy now with what we have done and achieved in this series."

"The Srilankan fans were obviously expecting better from us and we had to dig deep," Anas said. "It was good to see, apart from Faris, other batsmen making contributions and getting us over the line. Hillal did it on a couple of occasions and Mohammed Fayaz got an opportunity to go up the order and bat and show us what he can do." Anas said a key problem was the team's inability to win by a big margin when the opportunity presented itself: Dubai Zahirians lost six wickets while chasing small targets in each of the last two matches.

"Of course, we talked about winning handsomely and we were in a position to win handsomely one week ago [ Friday] and we sort of let it slip and the same thing again today [last friday] where we probably could've lost two or three wickets and won easily," Anas said. "But at the end of the day, a win is a win for a team like this which has found winning difficult over the last couple of series. "We will take our wins, but we also know that one [series] win doesn't make us a champion team. We got to keep growing as a team. We got to keep developing and learning from the little silly mistakes that we make so that when we get into other tough series, we would know how to handle ourselves in those situations."

Players won't look forward

Sanaz, who is recovering from injury and hoping to make DZCC's upcomming tour's, said Razeen's situation was different from his but admitted that franchise cricket was tempting to players. "Sanaz's in a different position to me because he's finished his career before then ifthy the who recall back, his body is sort of finishing itself off," he told the Official site. "He puts such a workload through his legs and his knees and his ankles. I'm just a batsman. I love scoring runs for DZC. I hate being out injured. I'm not going to make a sob story out of it, because I just want to try and recharge my batteries after a month of a rollercoaster ride. "But I think the reality of it is now, with last few games and everything around, central contracts are not necessarily going to be things people are going to look forward to."

Board of control said central contracts did not mean the same that they did when they were first introduced because of the lucrative alternate options available now. He felt the DZCC board needed to rotate players so that they got adequate rest. "You do want guys playing to the best of their ability and not just thinking: 'Oh, here we go again. Right, I'm going to bat three times this week, I'll try tomorrow, I'll try the next day.'"

Hillal said there was too much cricket being played, with the result that the quality of the game drops. "Srilankan cricketers coming into the UAE environment, they don't face fast bowling and they don't face quality bowlers. The reason they don't face Much tape ball cricket there,People won't bowl 90 miles an hour [in those circumstances]."I honestly think that cricket in this country needs to be regionalised and you need to play each match like a T-20 instead of up and down the country, playing every week. It's an horrendous grind, especially if you're nowhere near the lead. If it was four or five teams fighting it out for something, it's a lot closer."
