Retention and pre-draft picksedit
They signed Jamaican t20 specialist, Chris Gayle before the draft. He was supposed to play 4 matches at the end but due to the postponement of the T20 Global League (where he was the marquee pick for Cape Town Knight Riders), he will play the full season but he may miss the first 3–4 matches of the Riders to be able to spend family time in a vacation in Australia.[2] They also signed two English seam bowling all-rounder David Willey and Ravi Bopara. Their other squad members include West Indian leggie Samuel Badree and more pre-draft.
They picked 8 locals and 3 foreigners from the draft. Their first pick was Shahriar Nafees, a prominent Bangladeshi batsman. The surprise picks were inexperienced and little-known Afghan slow left-arm wrist-spin bowler Zahir Khan.
