Cricket's most exciting format has added two new franchises with American teams New York Strikers and Morrisville SAMP Army making it an 8-team carnival.
Nicholas Pooran comes with extensive experience as a captain and more importantly an attacking all-rounder across formats. Pooran has been a regular in the IPL since 2019 and his last edition's campaign for Sunrisers Hyderabad caught everyone's attention.
West Indian all-rounders Andre Russell and Odean Smith have been retained in the squad, along with English cricketer Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Emirati-Pakistani cricketer Zahoor Khan, and Namibian all-rounder David Wiese.
