Ansh Tandon and Amir Hayat are faces from the UAE national cricket team. While Ansh is just 18, Hayat is double his age. That they are both inexperienced ties them in the same string and the Abu Dhabi T10 League is an ideal platform for them to learn from some of the world’s best. It gives both of them ample time and opportunity to learn the traits of T20 cricket.

Their bowling attack is also well-rounded. Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz will lead the bowling attack and will have Russell and Rayad Emrit for company. Rayad and Russell apart from playing in the IPL has a wealth of experience playing in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). While Russell is currently playing for Jamaica Tallawahs while Emrit is plying his trade for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.

Apart from the pace attack, Chris Green and Pravin Tambe provide them with spinning options. While Tambe has played for Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Lions in the IPL, Green has been playing Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League where he discovered his true potential.
