Malla leads a 15-man squad for the tournament, with former captain Paras Khadka and leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane opting to play in the Abu Dhabi T10 League running from November 15-24.

Dipendra Singh Airee will deputise Malla, after being named vice captain when the side toured Singapore and Oman.
