If you want to swing your cricket bat around or a bowl a few googlies, then the UAE is not a very hospitable place. Residents, especially kids, who love the game, are not being able to zero in on proper - and affordable - facilities; consequently, they end up playing on roads/pavements in residential areas, or on bare tracts of sand. No green turf or marked-out pitches. No boundary line. You don't even know if you've hit a 4 or a 6.
Seems a bit odd when you consider the rich cricketing history this country has - remember the CBFS series that started in the mid-80s when teams took part in three-nation and four-nation play-offs on a regular basis, and made cricket part of the mainstream here?
Cricket in the UAE: High points In 1994, the UAE won the ICC Trophy on debut. In 1996, the UAE first qualified for the ICC World Cup. In August 2005, the ICC moved its offices to Dubai, and closed its offices at Lord's and Monaco. The move to Dubai was made after an 11-1 vote by the ICC's executive board in favour. The UAE national team played its first One-Day International in 1994. At the 2014 World Cup qualifier, the UAE was placed second behind Scotland, qualifying for the 2015 World Cup and gaining ODI status until 2018. Emirati national Mohammad Tauqir is the captain of the team. Between 1984 and 2003, the Sharjah ground was the venue for 206 ODIs held as part of commercially spon-sored tournaments involving three or four international teams. The tournaments were organised by Cricketers Benefit Fund Series (CBFS). |
