South African batting sensationDewald Brevis and Australian spin ace Adam Zampa headline the men's list, while Marizanne Kapp leads the women's signings.
Other big names joining Spirit include Liam Livingstone, Mahika Gaur, Charlie Dean, Grace Harris, and Jamie Overton. Three of the eight - Dean, Harris, and Overton - are returning players who represented Spirit in the 2025 season, giving the side continuity as they look to go one better in 2026.
