All 16 squads for ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier UAE 2012 confirmed



Some of the very bestcricketers from ICC's Associate and Affiliate members countries will assemblein the United Arab Emirates (UAE) next month when the 16-team ICC WorldTwenty20 UAE 2012 will be staged across five venues of Abu Dhabi, Dubaiand Sharjah. All 16 squads for the event, which will be staged from 13 to 24March, have now been finalised.

At stake in the UAE will be the two available places in the ICC World Twenty20Sri Lanka which will be played in Colombo,Hambantota and Pallekele from 18 September to 7 October.


A total of 72 matches will be played over 12 days and the first qualifier willemerge after the 61st match while the second qualifier will be known after the71st match. The winner of the 72nd and final match of the tournament will completeGroup B by joining Australiaand West Indies while the runner-up will team up with defending champion England and former winner India in GroupA.

Afghanistanwill be defending the title it had won in 2010 when the qualifying tournamentwas an eight-team event. The Asian side had beaten Irelandin the final in Dubai by eight wickets but boththe sides qualified for the ICC World Twenty20 2010 which was staged in Barbados, St Luciaand Guyana.

Afghanistanhas named eight players in the squad who were members of the side which madehistory in the UAE two years ago. Captain Nawroz Mangal, Merwais Ashraf,Mohammad Nabi, Hamid Hassan, Mohammad Shahzad, Karim Khan Sadeq, SamiulahShinwari and Shahpoor Zadran will again be returning with a challenge to guidetheir side to the second successive ICC World Twenty20.

Ireland,which missed the inaugural event in 2007 but appeared in 2009 and 2010, hasnamed a formidable side as it has retained no less than 10 players from the2010 campaign. Returning to the UAE will be captain William Porterfield, AlexCusack, George Dockrell, Trent Johnston, John Mooney, Kevin O'Brien, BoydRankin, Paul Stirling, Andrew White and Gary Wilson.

The four new faces in the Irelandsquad for this event are 29-year-old all-rounder Nigel Jones, 33-year-old EdJoyce, who has also played ODIs and two T20Is for England as an opener, 27-yearwicketkeeper-batsman Rory McCann and an uncapped 26-year-old fast bowler MaxSorensen.

Peter Borren will once again lead the Netherlandswhich played in the 2007 event and upset England in the tournament opener atLord's. The other survivors from the unsuccessful 2010 qualifier event includeMudassar Bukhari, Atse Buurman, Tom De Grooth, Tim Gruijters, Alexei Kervezeeand Pieter Seelaar.

While the Dutch side will be without the services of Ryan ten Doeschate, theAssociate ODI Player of the Year in 2008, 2010 and 2011, it will be bolsteredby the inclusion of fast emerging Tom Cooper. The 25-year-old opener is yet tomake his T20I debut but averages 54 from 18 ODIs and just under 40 from as manyfirst-class matches.

The other popular name in the Associate and Affiliate world, Ashish Bagai ofCanada, will also be missing from next month's action. The wicketkeeper batsmancaptained his side in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.

The event will see in action two international stars of the recent past:Michael Di Venuto and Geraint Jones.

Di Venuto, who will represent Italy,has played nine ODIs for Australiain 1997 while Jones, who will play for Papua New Guinea (PNG), has played 34Tests, 49 ODIs and two T20Is for England between 2004 and 2006. The38-year-old Di Venuto has become eligible after securing an Italian passportwhile 35-year-old Jones can play for PNG as he was born in Kundiawa, thecapital of Simbu province in PNG.
