So, the Asia Cup 2025 is just a day away, and Team India will play their first match against hosts UAE on September 10. Former India batter Lalchand Rajput is their coach, and besides having a well-balanced team, the latter believes, his boys are ready to face the world champions.
India vs UAE in Asia Cup on September 10
The UAE team recently participated in the three-nation series — involving Pakistan and Afghanistan as well, and gained some valuable experience there, and now are ready to give their best. “India is a big team. They were the champions in the last World Cup. But it is a good opportunity to play against India. In T20s the team that plays better on the given day will win. A single batter or bowler can win you the game. We will play fearless cricket.”

Lalchand Rajput added that the team also had presence of good spinners, who could cause a bit of trouble to the Indian batting line up. But that said there is nervousness in the group too. “Our batting is strong, we have good spinners in our bowling unit. The players have experience of playing in the UAE. But we will see how they perform against a big team. Everybody wants to play against India. There will be nervousness, and I think our players are ready,” he added.
UAE squad for Asia Cup: Muhammad Waseem (capt), Alishan Sharafu, Aryansh Sharma (wk), Asif Khan, Dhruv Parashar, Ethan D’Souza, Haider Ali, Harshit Kaushik, Junaid Siddique, Matiullah Khan, Muhammad Farooq, Muhammad Jawadullah, Muhammad Zohaib, Rahul Chopra (wk), Rohid Khan, Simranjeet Singh and Saghir Khan.
