Tauqir, 47, made his international debut in 2004 and represented the country for 11 years. A prominent name in UAE cricket, Tauqir brings a wealth of experience to the Deccan Gladiators, who will be led by Shane Watson in the tournament that is set for a fresh start in the capital city this week.

Commenting on his appointment, Tauqir said: “I am very happy to be associated with the Deccan Gladiators as their fielding coach. I am sure the team will do very well in the tournament.

"Cricket can be a serious full-time career for youth in this region. Proper grooming and training will help them refine their game as a player. I see that many of local youths are interested in this sport and they should definitely work towards it and represent UAE internationally.”

The Abu Dhabi T10 will be played from November 14-24 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium.

What is an ETF?

An exchange traded fund is a type of investment fund that can be traded quickly and easily, just like stocks and shares. They come with no upfront costs aside from your brokerage's dealing charges and annual fees, which are far lower than on traditional mutual investment funds. Charges are as low as 0.03 per cent on one of the very cheapest (and most popular), Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, with the maximum around 0.75 per cent.

There is no fund manager deciding which stocks and other assets to invest in, instead they passively track their chosen index, country, region or commodity, regardless of whether it goes up or down.

The first ETF was launched as recently as 1993, but the sector boasted $5.78 billion in assets under management at the end of September as inflows hit record highs, according to the latest figures from ETFGI, a leading independent research and consultancy firm.

There are thousands to choose from, with the five largest providers BlackRock’s iShares, Vanguard, State Street Global Advisers, Deutsche Bank X-trackers and Invesco PowerShares.

While the best-known track major indices such as MSCI World, the S&P 500 and FTSE 100, you can also invest in specific countries or regions, large, medium or small companies, government bonds, gold, crude oil, cocoa, water, carbon, cattle, corn futures, currency shifts or even a stock market crash.
