DUBAI // Amjad Javed will lead the UAE in three 50-over matches against the England Lions in Dubai.

The Emirates airline cargo loader will captain the side against England’s second string, as the national team seek to arrest their recent poor form.

Waleed Bukhatir, Emirates Cricket Board chief selector said; “This series is an important component of our team’s preparations ahead of a very busy 2017 calendar.

“Only by competing against full professional sides can we collectively, including our players and our performance team, analyse and implement effective practices.

“We are very pleased with the continued support the England and Wales Cricket Board provide us, and our men’s team, through such opportunities.”
