Being the official governing body for cricket in the UAE, the ECB oversees the development of the sport across men’s, women’s, and U19 categories. Over the years, the ECB has played a crucial role in elevating the UAE’s standing as an emerging cricketing hub, hosting high-impact bilateral series, marquee international fixtures, and world cricket tournaments.
