The league recently announced that each franchise will be allowed to sign one additional player in a wildcard round. Mumbai Indians Cape Town became the first team to use the wild card as they signed Jofra Archer.

Notably, Pakistani players were not allowed to take part in the league because of the international assignment against West Indies. But the tour getting postponed means the players from the Asian nation can now take part in the league.
