The Guyana Amazon Warriors have confirmed five overseas signings for the 2026 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League. The list features South African leg-spinner Imran Tahir, New Zealand batter Glenn Phillips, Afghanistan’s Mohammad Nabi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and South African all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius — a blend of seasoned bowling, hard-hitting batting and flexible all-round skills for the coming CPL campaign.
Tahir arrives with a deep T20 résumé, sharp leg-spin and a reputation for striking in the middle overs. His record across major leagues also brings leadership and tactical know-how to the Warriors dressing room.
Phillips is valued for explosive batting and elite fielding. His power at the crease and athletic presence in the field give Guyana another match-turning option.
Nabi is back with the franchise as a trusted all-rounder. He offers off-spin and late-order runs, helping balance the XI while sharing experience from elite T20 competitions with younger teammates.
Gurbaz joins as a dynamic young wicketkeeper-batter. His attacking style at the top is expected to lift the powerplay and firm up the opening slots.
Pretorius rounds out the overseas group with dependable pace up front and at the death, plus useful batting lower down that widens selection choices.
Those internationals will link up with a solid Caribbean nucleus captained in spirit by Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope. Combined, the group hands the Guyana Amazon Warriors a well-rounded mix of batting depth, spin and pace for the 2026 CPL season.
