The Rockets have decided to replace Marchant de Lange, who is the joint-top wicket-taker in The Hundred with eight wickets at a strike rate of 7.4, with original pick Wahab Riaz.
Pakistan bowler Wahab was initially unable to take part in The Hundred because of visa and work permit issues but they have now been sorted.
He is straight into the Rockets team tonight.

Rain in Nottingham might have brought proceedings to an early close in the Test match at Trent Bridge but the skies are looking clearer 160 miles south west down in Cardiff for a big one in The Hundred this evening.
It's Trent Rockets against Welsh Fire and with things hotting up for the tournament eliminator this could be a potentially key game for both sides.
Fire are seventh with four points and need a win tonight to get themselves in contention while Rockets are in third spot and will want to consolidate their grip on a place in the top three.
