The rule change was made under heavy pressure from the United Arab Emirates, as they had to pull out from most of the tournaments due to the lack of Arab players. The only gulf nation that has fielded a team fully comprised of nationals is Kuwait. They sent an all national side for the 2014 Asian Games, which was captained by the 58-year old Mahmoud Bastaki. His son Fahad Bastaki played in the same tournament and 3/48 against Nepal (best individual bowling performance). Mohammed Al Otaibi scored 7 runs in the match against Nepal, which remains their highest individual score.
That was a fun fact, i never knew about Kuwait sending an all national side which was captained by a 58 years old player
, hats off to Bastaki to play at this age for his national team and having a father son duo is rare in cricket, i know how hard it is to play in a club tournament let alone for the national team at that age, much respect but it shows the level of cricket in all of these nations.
After looking at such teams and such incidents it sometimes make me feels like some countries are so lagging behind and struggling for their survival in cricket. While in countries like India everyone is dying to become a cricket forget a 58 year old even 28 year old are blamed for fitness issues.
If you go to UAE you will see many players from India who played Ranji matches playing club cricket and doing their full time job, not only players from India there are players from Pakistan and other nations too.
.
and List of players is not in public domain atm but atleast 110 players already confirmed their availability for this tournament. ABD is Italian Stallion when compare to old era players
