Kenya to host UAE in four-match series

Kenya will host United Arab Emirates (UAE) for a four-match ODI series in the coastal city of Mombasa beginning this Sunday.

Kenya are hoping to visit UAE early next year for a series of warm-up one-day fixtures to prepare for the World Cup which begins in February next year in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The UAE team arrives in Mombasa on Friday ahead of the first match on Sunday at Mombasa Sports Club and will be led by Mohammed Tauqir during the eight-day tour.

The teams last met in the ICC World Twent20 qualifying tournament earlier this year when UAE sprung a surprise to win by 15 runs.

UAE squad Mohammed Tauqir (captain), Arshad Ali, Saqib Ali, Amjad Javed, Ahmed Raza, Shadeep Silva, Amjad Ali, Salman Farooq, Qasim Zubair, Shoaib Sarwar, Arfan Haider, Tahir Javaid Butt, Swapnil Patil, Rohan Mustafa
