Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Colin Munro, Mustafizur Rahman, Andre Russell, and Jonny Bairstow were among the marquee signings. Additional pre-contracted players include Jonny Bairstow, Sam Billings, Chris Lynn, and Chris Jordan.
The draft process further strengthened the rosters with international additions such as Moeen Ali, Imad Wasim, Tom Curran, David Willey, Tymal Mills, Azam Khan, and Andries Gous. Canadian representation remained strong throughout, with players like Saad Bin Zafar, Kaleem Sana, Nicholas Kirton, Yuvraj Samra, Ali Nadeem, Dilraj Deol, and Finley Dixon earning spots across the teams.
Each franchise now boasts a balanced mix of power hitters, versatile all-rounders, pace specialists, and clutch performers, setting the stage for intense competition throughout the tournament.
