Capri Global announced their squad for the T20 tournament on social media, which is expected to provide an invaluable platform for UAE cricket to take the development of local talent to a higher level.

In addition to Ali, the Sharjah-based team has also announced the signing of England trio Chris Walkers, Danny Briggs and David Maran, Afghan quartet Mohammad Nabi, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Nur Ahmed and Naveen Ulhaq, and Evan Lewis of the West Indies.

The squad will be further strengthened with the addition of domestic players, which also include two uncapped England players, an uncapped player from the West Indies and two prospective nationals, making the squad stronger up to 14 people.

Earlier on Thursday (August 18th), Capri Global announced that their ILT20 team would be called “Sharjah Warriors”. A day later, the team announced their lineup. “Capri Global is delighted to announce the Sharjah Warriors at @ILT20Official,” Sharjah Warriors tweeted.
