Tanveer Credits ILT20 for National Call-Up Success
1 Jul
Summary
- ILT20 boosted Khuzaima Tanveer's confidence for international cricket.
- He represented UAE in three ODIs and two T20Is since April.
- Tanveer learned from elite players like Sam Curran and Naseem Shah.
UAE fast bowler Khuzaima Tanveer attributes his rapid development and recent call-up to the national team to his experience in the ILT20. The 26-year-old, who debuted for the UAE in April and has since played three ODIs and two T20Is, found the league's competition against high-quality players instrumental in building his confidence for the international stage.
Tanveer's performances in the ILT20 have been notable, with 24 wickets in 18 matches across two seasons for the Desert Vipers. He finished Season 4 as the franchise's second-highest UAE wicket-taker. Beyond match performance, he emphasized the significant learning derived from training sessions and conversations with international teammates such as Sam Curran and Naseem Shah.
Looking ahead, Tanveer aims to build on his progress, secure his place in the UAE squad, and consistently contribute to the team's success. He remains focused on personal improvement rather than comparisons to bowling legends like Waqar Younis, taking any perceived similarities as a compliment.
