prehistory

For England this tour was a preparation for their tour in Bangladesh and the ICC World Twenty20 2010 in the West Indies in April. The games of the national teams were flanked by games of the reserve teams of the two nations. The authorities of the United Arab Emirates refused entry to the Pakistani bowler Mohammad Asif because he had been banned from entering the country in the past due to drug possession.
