About Bangladesh Tour Of UAE 2025
This tour consists of a standalone three-match T20I series, providing both teams with valuable match practice ahead of a busy cricket calendar.
The three T20Is are played on May 17, May 19, and May 21.
All matches take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Bangladesh have made a major leadership change, naming Litton Das as the new T20I captain, replacing Najmul Hossain Shanto (who remains in the squad). The squad sees the return of key players like Towhid Hridoy, Shoriful Islam, and Mustafizur Rahman. Meanwhile, the UAE have reappointed Muhammad Waseem as captain and have named three uncapped players—Ethan D'Souza, Matiullah Khan, and Haider Ali—while notably dropping veterans like Vriitya Aravind and Junaid Siddiqui.
For bettors, the big themes will be: how the Sharjah pitch deteriorates over three games in five days, how Bangladesh's top order responds to new leadership, and whether UAE's young debutants can handle the pressure against a Full Member nation.
2025 Bangladesh Tour Of UAE Star Players
UAE
UAE Squad:
Muhammad Waseem (capt), Alishan Sharafu, Aryansh Sharma, Asif Khan, Dhruv Parashar, Ethan D'Souza, Haider Ali, Matiullah Khan, Muhammad Jawadullah, Muhammad Zohaib, Muhammad Zuhaib, Rahul Chopra (wk), Saghir Khan, Sanchit Sharma, Simranjeet Singh.
Key names for prediction and betting markets:
- Muhammad Waseem – The returning captain is a powerhouse at the top of the order. He is the UAE's most destructive batter and a heavy favorite in "most sixes" and top batter markets.
- Asif Khan – A highly experienced batter who provides much-needed stability in the middle order alongside Rahul Chopra.
- Muhammad Jawadullah – A left-arm quick who can swing the new ball and execute at the death; highly relevant for "method of first dismissal" bets.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh squad:
Litton Das (capt), Tanzid Hasan, Parvez Hossain, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali, Rishad Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Tanvir Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Nahid Rana, and Shoriful Islam.
Names to track from a betting perspective:
- Litton Das – The newly appointed captain and wicketkeeper-batter. His performance in the Powerplay sets the tempo for Bangladesh, making him a prime candidate in "top team batter" markets.
- Towhid Hridoy – Returning to the squad, he is a crucial middle-order accelerator, highly valuable for total-runs and boundary props.
- Mustafizur Rahman & Shoriful Islam – The returning pace duo. Mustafizur's deadly cutters will be highly effective on the slow Sharjah surface, making him a favorite for "top team bowler".
- Rishad Hossain – A vital leg-spinning all-rounder whose middle-overs control will be key in restricting the UAE batters.
