Asia Cup 2025: UAE head coach makes bold statement ahead of India vs UAE clash, says ‘ We won’t let India have it easy’

During India’s practice session on Monday that was attended by the full team, Abhishek, who also bowls left-arm spin, was seen rolling his arm over for a considerable period of time.

For UAE, the tournament is a great opportunity to showcase skills and the likes of Muhammad Waseem, Rahul Chopra, and Simranjeet Singh are more than eager to make a mark under seasoned coach Lalchand Rajput.

“We had a good preparation playing the three nation T20 tournament in Sharjah. We had Pakistan five down for less than 100 in one game. We should have closed that game,” Rajput told PTI.

“Against India, we know it is a tough game but also an opportunity to test ourselves against the best in world cricket. It is a tough match but I am a Khadoos Mumbaikar. My boys won’t let India have it easy,” he promised.
