Not only this, they have world-class all-rounders, including the Curran brothers (Tom Curran and Sam Curran), to provide the much-needed support in the all-rounder segment. Oval Invincibles will be captained by Sam Billings this season as well. They have signed Rashid Khan, Donovan Ferreira, and Jason Behrendorff as their three overseas players for this tournament.
