Udaipur’s Saleh Amin Selected to Play for UAE U19 National Cricket Team

Udaipur, Nov 18, 2025 – Saleh Amin from Udaipur, who is currently a resident of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has been selected in the 14-member squad to represent UAE in the ACC Premier Cup U19 (50 overs) tournament.

A Grade 12 student of The Indian Academy Dubai, Saleh is recognised as one of the UAE’s most promising young cricket talents. A specialist wicketkeeper-batsman, the talented young man was the captain of his school cricket team and his stint with The Indian Academy Dubai included an outstanding knock of 128 off 58 balls.

Driven by a passion for the game since a child, Saleh wielded the willow when he was barely nine years old. The more he played the game, the better he got at it. Backed by numerous awards and recognitions to his name, Saleh continued to evolve as a player and his selection for the UAE national cricket teams speaks volumes of this achievement.

Saleh has participated in all major tournaments across the UAE winning accolades and awards which only reflect years of focused effort and hard work. His numerous achievements include playing for the U19 State Team Ajman; U19 State Team Dubai; Inter-Emirates Championships 2021-22; UAE U-16 National Cricket Camp; DCC Phantom League Edition 4 (2021).

For the young cricketer, selection in the national cricket team is just the beginning of an illustrious career. He has his eyes now on bigger milestones. His vision is to one day represent the UAE Men’s National Team on the global stage, compete in major international leagues and make his country proud.

Says Saleh: “My mission is to continuously grow as a professional cricketer by putting in consistent hard work, discipline, and focus. I am determined to represent the UAE Men's National Team at the highest level, compete in top division tournaments across Dubai, and showcase my talent in international leagues around the world. Beyond personal achievements, I want to be a role model for young cricketers, promoting passion, dedication and the spirit of the game. Every step I take is driven by the goal of making a lasting impact on UAE cricket and inspiring the next generation.”

Fourteen teams will play across four groups in the ACC Premier Cup U19 (50 overs) tournament being played in Ajman from November 21. UAE will play its first match against Kuwait on November 24 followed by a match against Bahrain on November 26. The semi-finals will be held on November 29 and the third-place match and final will be on December 1, 2025.

The top three teams will then play in the next ACC U19 Asia Cup.
