The draft for the second edition took place on Thursday, February 15, at the Hilton Colombo in Sri Lanka. The NY Superstar Strikers picked a 12-player squad in the draft.

Yuvraj Singh was selected by the franchise as the icon player. Isuru Udana, the Sri Lankan all-rounder, is the only player in the squad who featured in the last edition of the tournament. Udana played for the Vizag Titans and played in the final as well.
