Gurbaz will return to the franchise after previously joining them in 2022. He played six matches and scored 157 runs, including two half-centuries.
Other international players who have been retained include Pakistani batsmen Saim Ayub and Azam Khan, as well as South African allrounder Dwaine Pretorius. Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope, Romario Shepherd, and Keemo Paul are among the key West Indies players who have remained.
