New Zealand will begin their three-match T20I series against the UAE with the first game at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Friday. This will be the first time that the Blackcaps will face off against UAE in the T20I format.
The only time that the Kiwis took on UAE was in an ODI match in the 1996 World Cup tournament. The Blackcaps have named a depleted side which will be led by pace bowler Tim Southee. Chennai Super Kings and New Zealand all-rounder Kyle Jamieson will be making a comeback from injury in this series.
For the hosts, opener Muhammad Waseem will be leading the 16-member squad. Asif Khan, who struck a blistering 145-ball 151 against the United States in the ODI World Cup Qualifiers, has also been named in the squad.
