Ahead of the 2024 season of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), the Guyana Amazon Warriors have confirmed their overseas signings, with Afghan opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz making a return to the franchise.

The announcement was made yesterday as Gurbaz returns to his old stomping ground, with his previous stint occurring in the 2022 season. The Warriors also welcomed back the overseas cohort that led them to their inaugural CPL championship in 2023.

Imran Tahir, the man who led them to their first title last year, is back with the team this season, along with fellow South African all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius.

Saim Ayub, the explosive opener, will be back in 2024, along with fellow Pakistani international Azam Khan. Gurbaz scored two half centuries when he was with the Warriors in 2022 and will be looking to add more this time around. 

The Warriors have three more spots to fill in their squad, and this will be done at the draft in July.

The squad so far reads: Imran Tahir, Shimron Hetmyer, Gudakesh Motie, Romario Shepherd, Dwaine Pretorius, Kevin Sinclair, Junior Sinclair, Shai Hope, Azam Khan, Saim Ayub, Keemo Paul, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Kevlon Anderson, and Shamar Joseph.
