Not sure destroyer doesn't actually state on Matchroom's website how the teams are selected. UAE is probably another team from england  United Allstars of England!!! Only joking. Must be the top players cos it wil be televised on tv must certain to be sky sports it looks very interesting though. Go to matchroom sport and ask to be on their mailing list they will forward you details on how to get tickets.
