“We wish all the signings the best of success for the CPL, which will take place in late September and early October 2021. This promises to be the most exciting edition of the tournament yet,” read a statement from the Outlaws.
“Wayne is currently enjoying a stint with Northamptonshire in England and has been instrumental in the selection of players for the Outlaws. He is looking forward to the prospect of working with younger club players and leading from the front.
“Christiaan has vast experience playing around the world and is extremely excited at the prospect of getting back onto the field and contributing to our team environment.
“Oli will be playing his club cricket in Cape Town for the 2021-22 season as a UK brand ambassador for CPT Cricket Tours and has been added to the impressive Outlaws signings.”
The remainder of their 16-man squad will be completed after the player auction on 30 July.
