Mohammad Amir has replaced Australian pacer Ben Dwarshuis, while Imad Wasim comes in for New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner. Imad will be available for four matches between August 7 and 10.

No Pakistani player was initially part of the competition, and there were reports that the reason for that was Indian ownership of the board. However, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had denied claims suggesting franchise owners avoid selecting Pakistan players due to ownership ties with Indian stakeholders.
