Omarzai has already played three seasons in the BPL and will be returning for his fourth appearance. Moeen and Amir are also familiar faces in the league, while Mendis is set to make his BPL debut.
Sylhet Strikers had participated in the last three editions of the BPL but chose not to continue for the next five-year cycle.
