The player draft for the Abu Dhabi T10 League took place on September 26, meaning that a lot of top-quality players were on the move. Andre Russell and Dwayne Bravo, though, were retained by the Deccan Gladiators and the Delhi Bulls, respectively. Mohammad Amir was also retained by the Bangla Tigers.

This season will see two new teams enter the competition. While Morrisville Samp Army will be led by David Miller, the New York Strikers will be captained by former West Indies white-ball captain Kieron Pollard. Several Sri Lanka players were also drafted in by various sides, with Dasun Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga featuring as icon players for Chennai Braves and Northern Warriors, respectively.
