BAHRAIN’S national cricket team has been ranked amongst the top 24 T20 teams globally, as it gears up to qualify for the T20 World Cup in Australia, set to take place in November 2022.
The team topped the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asian Qualifier Group A tournament beating hosts Qatar, Maldives and Saudi Arabia.
They will be competing in Oman in February, aiming to be one of the top two teams in the eight-team ICC Men’s T20 World Cup International Qualifier, thus qualifying them to play in the global event in Australia.
The Bahrain Cricket Federation (BCF) recently organised a ceremony at the Crowne Plaza Conference Centre to honour the victorious team which is being led by captain Anasim Khan and coached by Azeem Ul Haque.
“We would like to thank Supreme Council for Youth and Sport first deputy chairman, General Sports Authority (GSA) chairman and Bahrain Olympic Committee president Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa for his support to the board and also to the GSA,” said BCF president Hatim Dadabhai at the ceremony.
The squad includes Fiaz Ahmed, Waseem Ahmed, Imran Ali, Sarfaraz Ali, Imran Anwar, Junaid Aziz, Haider Butt, Prashant Kurup, Shahid Mahmood, Abdul Majid, Ammad Uddin, Sathaiya Veerapathiran and Muhammad Younis.
