Who's involved?

Zeeshan Maqsood will captain Oman, the batting allrounder will be one of his side's most influential players, looking to supplement his T20I averages of 24.70 with the bat and 21.86 with the ball.

Batter Jatinder Singh will also be a massive cog in the Omani machine, he averages 30 in T20I cricket, with a top score of 73 not out.

Ahmed Raza captains UAE, the skipper, a bowler by trade, will be keen on adding to his haul of 30 T20I wickets.

Strike bowler Zahoor Khan will also be a key asset to the UAE, and he holds an impressive T20I bowling average of 17.6.

Andy Balbirnie captains Ireland. The skipper has hit 248 runs in T20I cricket over the past year and will be keen to add to that tally.

Opening batter Paul Stirling has hit the most Ireland T20I runs over the past year, 482. His highest score in the format is an unbeaten 115, and he has amassed more than 2,500 runs in international T20 cricket. He is also going into the series in fine form, having hit 187 runs in five Pakistan Super League games of late.

Nepal's biggest export in recent years, 21-year-old leg-spin bowler Sandeep Lamichhane will skipper the side. The bowler has taken 47 wickets in 26 games in T20I cricket, at an average of just 14.

Former captain Gyanendra Malla will feature, the batter averages 24.03 in T20I cricket, and has hit both a half century and a ton in the format.
