Robin Singh's role as UAE’s director of cricket has come to an end. Mudassar Nazar will take temporary charge of the national team for their next assignment.
Singh, the former India all-rounder who was appointed in February 2020, has overseen a miserable run of form that has jeopardised the future of the game here.
The national team will depart for the Cricket World Cup Qualifier play-off in Namibia later this week. Because of their poor recent results, much is riding on the competition.
There are two places on offer at the six-team event for the global World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe in June. Perhaps of greater significance is the need to safeguard one-day international status, which carries with it significant ICC funding as well as the guarantee of high-quality cricket for the next four years.
