Ahead of their first Asia Cup 2025 match, which is against Asian Giants, Team India, the UAE skipper Muhammad Waseem said that his side is not going to take it as a big match.
He also said that the hosts will follow their plans and try to showcase good cricket.
While speaking to ANI, Waseem said, "We will not take it as a big match because all the teams are good in front of you, so all the matches will be the same. We are working hard in the heat, and we will only follow our plan. Whatever we have learned and whatever we need to do on that day, we will do it. Rest, the result is up to the game".
The skipper further revealed that the hosts have not planned a particular strategy only for one player, but have a plan for six to seven batsmen.
"No, we have not made any individual plan for any particular player. We have created a plan for 6-7 batters for the whole team. We will not give their strength to the strength. We will play carefully with their wicket-taker bowler, and whoever we can charge, we have made such a plan. If the unit is more, the role of the spinners can increase," said the 29-year-old athlete.
Despite India and Pakistan playing a decent amount of cricket here, Waseem is only focused on making the most out of the home advantage.
"Whenever there is dew, I think the spinner's ball doesn't turn much. But it depends on the weather tomorrow and the conditions. And as I have told you, whatever we have learned. Yes, you are right that we play a lot of cricket here. We can also say that India and Pakistan play a lot of cricket here. But it is our home. So we will try our best to take advantage of and play good cricket," he signed off.
