[1][2] Naeemuddin made his debut for the senior side during the 2004 ICC Six Nations Challenge, held in Sharjah in March 2004, where he played four of the UAE's five matches.
[4] UAE lost both matches where Naeemuddin batted, and their final record of three wins and two losses in the tournament was not enough to qualify them for the 2004 Champions Trophy.
Their opponents Uganda were bowled out for 138, giving UAE the win by 63 runs, and two play-off matches to qualify for the World Cup.
Naeemuddin hit 22 off 45 balls, sharing stands with Arshad Ali and Syed Maqsood, but was out with the score on 45 for three.
During the EurAsia Cricket Series in Dubai in April 2006, he played three matches, batted twice, but failed to score in both innings.
