Growing up in the relatively less-heralded cricketing scene of the UAE, Almas showed an intuitive grasp of the game from an early age. His passion for cricket blossomed in the dusty fields of Sharjah, where he spent countless hours honing his skills under the desert sun.

Almas's journey into professional cricket began as a teenager when he caught the attention of local coaches during school tournaments. His ability to generate pace and movement was inimitable, and it wasn't long before he entered the competitive arena of domestic cricket. His professional debut came in his early twenties, marking the beginning of a career that would see him become a cornerstone of the UAE’s national team.

Throughout his career, Almas has been celebrated for his ability to swing the ball both ways while maintaining a fearsome pace. This right-arm fast bowler became a linchpin in the UAE's bowling attack, often stepping up in high-pressure situations. His adaptable batting approach, although not his primary skill, added depth to the team’s lower order, contributing crucial runs on several occasions.

One of Almas’s most memorable performances came during the ICC World Cup Qualifiers, where his instinctive bowling helped secure an unexpected victory against a well-favoured opponent. His rivalry with leading batsmen from more established cricketing nations has also been a hallmark of his playing days, with intense battles creating unforgettable matches for fans worldwide.

Among his achievements are multiple Man of the Match awards, and he holds the record for the fastest ball bowled by any UAE cricketer, a testament to his startling speed and precision.
