Aaqib has been the head coach of the side since the first edition and after four successive years of finishing last, he guided his team to their first-ever final in last year’s competition. He believes that his team has the hunger and desire to go one step further this time and win the trophy for the franchise.
He said that the team has had prior experience of playing in Abu Dhabi, which will be a positive for the side.
“I have high hopes from Sohail. Abu Dhabi is his favorite ground. He was the highest run-getter in the T10 competition in Abu Dhabi. He was the best batsman in Abu Dhabi Cup as well. This ground suits his batting. So, I think Qalandars have the best chance till date to win the title in Abu Dhabi conditions,” said Aaqib.
