There will be 10 teams in an expanded tournament, which is due to run from 21 November to 2 December, shortly after England's tour of the West Indies concludes.

Other international stars signed up include Afghanistan's Rashid Khan, South Africa's Anrich Nortje, Australia's Marcus Stoinis and West Indies' Andre Russell and Nicholas Pooran.

New York Strikers, whose roster includes Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard, are the defending champions.
