The third match looked like if the United Arab Emirates could have scored a few more runs against the West Indies, the match could have been a little closer but it didn't happen.
The United Arab Emirates were defeated by the West Indies by three wickets as the host team in the three-match ODI series.
With time UAE will develop and improve too this is a gradual process, west indies is an old and experienced team and they have been on top of charts some years ago. Still they have some world best players playing in different leagues.
There are several steps that the United Arab Emirates needs to take to improve cricket. Firstly, the UAE Cricket Board needs to be financially enriched. After making the cricket board financially prosperous enough, the cricketers should be given more benefits and allowances so that people in UAE become more interested in cricket. Then select a good coach who is able to select good quality players. A number of cricket academies are to be built from where future cricket stars can be tapped. Regular bilateral series should be organized to keep the players busy all the time in cricket. If there is no bilateral series, regular practice and work under cricket board. If the United Arab Emirates can do the above things, then the cricket in the UAE will improve.
Cricket in the United Arab Emirates needs to be improved and this will require a diverse strategy. First of all while the UAE Cricket Board financial enrichment is crucial it should be supported by accountability and openness to ensure efficient resource use. Secondly increasing cricketers benefits and allowances will undoubtedly increase local interest in the sport but it should be combined with grassroots development programmes to find and develop fresh talent. Thirdly choosing a capable coach with a great eye for talent is essential since they can be instrumental in developing a powerful team. Additionally, by providing specialised training and growth opportunities cricket academies will act as a breeding ground for future stars. Last but not least in addition to setting up bilateral series players focus and preparation can be maintained by following a disciplined practise schedule under the direction of the cricket board during off competitive times. The United Arab Emirates can create the conditions for cricket in their nation to have a more promising future by putting these steps in place.
