Other notables on the list are Afghanistan's Qais Ahmad, Sri Lanka's Kusal Mendis, and New Zealand openers Martin Guptill.
The original South Africa captain and current SA20 director, Graeme Smith, said," Some of the biggest names on the international T20 loop have now signed up for season three and I'm looking forward to seeing how the team choose their teams from this dynamic list of players."
Reeza Hendricks, who was released by Super Kings, joins Tony de Zorzi and Reeza Hendricks as the other two South Africans with the most notable names in the list.
