Oza to lead as UAE reveal squad for home Asia Cup campaign

Star all-rounder Esha Oza will once again lead as captain as the UAE revealed their squad for the upcoming Women's Asia Cup event in Dubai.

Oza will skipper the tournament hosts throughout the eight-team tournament that begins on Friday, with the UAE drawn in Group B alongside reigning champions Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Indonesia.

The UAE's first match comes against Sri Lanka at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday and Oza can't wait to get started.

“We’re all really excited to play in front of our families and friends,” Oza said.

"Being able to play in front of a home crowd is something which is a huge honour, two years ago we played Sri Lanka at home, we gave them a good game but just came out short so this time we are really eager to get that win.”
