Esha Oza will lead a 15-member UAE squad at the Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026, starting August 28 at the Dubai International Stadium.
The tournament, which will conclude on September 13, marks the first time UAE will host the continental event, with all matches played under lights.
The hosts have been placed in Group B alongside previous winners Bangladesh, Indonesia, and defending champions Sri Lanka.
UAE will open their campaign against Sri Lanka on August 29, followed by clashes against Indonesia on September 4 and Bangladesh on September 8.
All matches in the tournament will be played under lights, starting at 6:30 pm local time. The two semi-finals are slated for September 10 and 11, with the summit clash scheduled for September 13.
It's the first time the UAE will host the continental tournament. Both UAE and Thailand qualified for the main event via the 2026 Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Premier Women's Cup, held in Malaysia in June.
