Umair Ali Khan continues to do his best to earn the attention of the UAE selectors after making a fine start to the second season of the Emirates D10.
The Fujairah-based allrounder was the leading wicket taker in the competition when it debuted last summer, as cricket made its return after lockdown.
On the opening day of the second season of the 10-over tournament, his two wickets and cameo with the bat for Sharjah earned his side a nine-run win over Fujairah, as well as the man of the match award.
Umair played five limited-overs internationals for the national team in 2015, but has not been recalled in the six years since.
He is hopeful his form, which also saw him named player of the tournament in a 10-over competition that finished the night before the start of the D10, will catch the eye of the selectors again.
Emirates Blues, who were the inaugural D10 champions last year, started their title defence in fine style at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. They took two wins on day one of the new season, either side of Sharjah's success over Fujairah.
A side which contains a number of emerging UAE players first beat Dubai by nine wickets, as they chased 121 to win with seven balls to spare, thanks to the excellence of Laxman Manjrekar.
In the last match of the evening, Mohammed Boota led the chase as they easily overcame Ajman by 10 wickets.
Ajman and Dubai will each be bidding to avenge their losses when they return to action at 5pm in Sharjah on Thursday. The matches are live streamed on the My Sports Eye Facebook page.

Red flags
- Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
- Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
- Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
- Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
- Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.
