WOMBATS -‘It was a name chosen spontaneously based on the pun of an animal and a cricket bat’ and also represent Waste Of Money, Brain And Time on the lighter side.
One of the most organised and innovative cricket club of Dubai. We have grown from 4 people in 2011 to almost 40 members within the span of 4 years. The club has probably had the biggest impact on Dubai semi-professional cricket in the last 2 years with its innovative management of organizing tournaments/leagues, social affiliations, charity work, etc . Winners of Bahrain 6s and Dubai 6s, WOMBATs are excited to be part of the first ever Chang Mai.

"An avid sports enthusiast and a recent inclusion into the Wombats cricketing fraternity. Having hailed from the land of the mounted police, maple syrup and beaver tails, he's held true to his Pakistani roots and persisted with cricket throughout the years, even when it's been snowing outside (and for this feat has actually been on the local news channel - not so much as a cricketer, but more so as a lunatic). Super excited for his first Chiang Mai sixes tournament!"

Hailing from India, a die hard cricket fan and marathoner and one of the Quartet in Wombats who have had successful ACL procedures done. Been with Wombats since 2013 and participated in many of the Cricket-adventures that we as a Club embark on. Military medium bowling and rotate the strike for the senior are the facets of my game. Looking forward to a bountiful venture at the Chiang Mai 6s.
