Jonny Bairstow, Sikandar Raza, Andre Russell, Nicholas Pooran, Sam Billings and Mustafizur Rahman lead the six marquee names confirmed across Super 60’s six city franchises for its second season. Each carries a team as its headline pick, backed by two wildcard signings and a wider international quota filled out on the day. The tournament runs from 29 September to 4 October at BC Place in Vancouver, giving every squad roughly eight weeks to build around these confirmed stars before the T10 format begins.
Six Franchises, Six Marquee Names
Brampton Blitz lead with Jonny Bairstow, supported by wildcards James Vince and Martin Guptill, plus internationals Tymal Mills, Tom Curran, Ben Raine and Hardus Viljoen. Mississauga Masters built around Sikandar Raza, adding David Wiese and Colin Munro as wildcards alongside Azam Khan, Alex Lees, Saif Zaib and Richard Gleeson.
Montreal Royal Tigers picked Andre Russell as their marquee name, with Josh Brown and Chris Lynn as wildcards, joined by David Willey, Isuru Udana, Scott Kuggeleijn and Brett Hampton. Toronto Sixers went with Nicholas Pooran, flanked by Kieron Pollard and Daniel Sams, then rounded out their international quota with Imad Wasim, Will Smeed, Hunain Shah and Tom Kohler-Cadmore.
White Rock Warriors settled on Sam Billings, adding Dwaine Pretorius and Jordan Thompson as wildcards alongside Kane Richardson, Jake Ball, Nick Hobson and Baltej Singh Dhanda. Vancouver Anchors picked Mustafizur Rahman as their headline name, with Max Chu and Chris Jordan as wildcards and Moeen Ali, Aneurin Donald, Tom Moores and Ben Sanderson filling the remaining international slots.
Pre-Signed Stars And Marquee Announcements
Three players arrived with deals already in place before the wider process began: Sam Billings at White Rock Warriors, Chris Lynn at Montreal Royal Tigers and Chris Jordan at Vancouver Anchors. Every other marquee name, including Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Colin Munro, Mustafizur Rahman, Andre Russell and Jonny Bairstow, was designated ahead of the process on 21 July.
International slots filled out afterward brought in Moeen Ali, Imad Wasim, Tom Curran, David Willey, Tymal Mills, Azam Khan and Andries Gous among others, completing the overseas contingent each franchise was permitted. One press release also listed Bairstow among the pre-signed group, though that appears to be a duplication of his marquee status rather than a separate deal, since every other source places him firmly among the six pre-draft designations.
| Team | Marquee Overseas Players |
|---|---|
| Brampton Blitz | Bairstow, Vince, Guptill, Mills, Curran |
| Mississauga Masters | Raza, Wiese, Munro, Khan, Gleeson |
| Montreal Royal Tigers | Russell, Lynn, Brown, Willey |
| Toronto Sixers | Pooran, Pollard, Sams, Wasim, Smeed |
| White Rock Warriors | Billings, Pretorius, Thompson, Richardson |
| Vancouver Anchors | Rahman, Jordan, Chu, Ali |
Canada Super 60 Season 2 Draft Players
Every franchise built its roster around one Canadian domestic quota rather than filling squads entirely with overseas talent. Each side carries one marquee overseas name, two wildcards, four further internationals, five Canadian players and three associate picks, a structure designed to keep the competition rooted in domestic talent even as it leans on recognisable names to sell tickets.
Named domestic players confirmed in the official release include Saad Bin Zafar, Kaleem Sana, Nicholas Kirton, Yuvraj Samra, Ali Nadeem, Dilraj Deol and Finley Dixon, several of whom featured prominently across the six full squads announced through July. That five-player domestic quota per team means thirty Canadian roster spots across the competition, more than double the number of confirmed marquee overseas names.
Depth Signings Round Out Six Rosters
Beyond the headline names, squads leaned on domestic depth to fill out their associate quotas, spreading talent like Aryan Sidhu, Gurnek Johal and Ajayveer Hundal across White Rock, Vancouver and Brampton, while Tejinder Johal and Nawab Singh joined Toronto Sixers. Mississauga added Hamza Tariq, Rayyan Pathan and Zahid Shirzad, Montreal brought in Kavian Naresh and Anoop Chima, and Vancouver rounded out its associate picks with Ansh Patel and Shubham Handa. That balance between marquee overseas power and homegrown depth is the model organisers are counting on to grow the tournament across its second season.
With all six franchises now fully assembled, the six Canada Super 60 season 2 draft players carrying marquee status become the names each city will build its entire season around once play finally begins at BC Place on 29 September.
