Shaiman Anwar, the UAE's most experienced batsman, is the other locally-based Arabians player, but seamer Zahoor might have more chances. <strong>Bengal Lions</strong> <strong>Leading player:</strong> Sarfraz Ahmed (Pakistan) - Sarfraz has not played many significant innings of late. Most things he has done as captain have turned to gold, though. <strong>Late pick: </strong>David Miller (South Africa) - Sunil Narine was the first draft pick for Bengal. When he opted out, they managed to secure a high-pedigree - if not like for like - replacement in David Miller. <strong>UAE hopeful:</strong> Mohammed Naveed. The pace bowler has the best T20 international economy rate of anyone apart from Afghanistan's Rashid Khan in the past two years. <strong>Kerala Kings</strong> <strong>Leading player:</strong> Eoin Morgan (England) - En route to Australia where he will captain England's limited-overs team, he will get his eye in in Sharjah first. <strong>Top pick: </strong>Kieron Pollard (West Indies) - The Trinidadian strongman has made a career out of pyrotechnic cameos in the shortest formats of the game <strong>UAE hopeful:</strong> Rohan Mustafa.

The pace bowler was stellar for the UAE in the Asia Cup T20 in Bangladesh last year. Now back on a similar stage, he could thrive. <strong>Punjabi Legends</strong> <strong>Leading player: </strong>Shoaib Malik (Pakistan) - Despite his indifferent time as a captain in PSL, Malik was trusted to lead the Punjabi side in the first T10. <strong>Top pick:</strong> Hasan Ali (Pakistan) - The top ranked one-day international bowler in the world, and a savvy practitioner in UAE conditions. <strong>UAE hopeful:</strong> Ghulam Shabber. The powerful left-handed wicket-keeper batsman has been in fine form with the bat for the UAE in his debut season. <strong>Team Sri Lanka Cricket</strong> The side will be led by Dinesh Chandimal, and made up exclusively of players from Sri Lanka.
