The Hurricanes boast a big-hitting batting line-up, meaning the crowds at Bludstone Arena will be seeing plenty of sixes being carted over the fence.
Alex Hales is a massive addition in a side jam-packed with international experience.
The Englishman joins Darren Sammy and Tim Bresnan as the big-name internationals, however Bresnan will only join as cover for Sammy when he leaves to join the West Indies squad for the upcoming World Cup.
The Tasmanians boast excellent batting depth, but also have proven performers with the ball in Ben Hilfenhaus and Xavier Doherty.
Keep an eye out for young left-arm quick Sam Rainbird. One to watch.
INS: Tim Bresnan, Alex Hales, Michael Hill, Dominic Michael, Jake Reed, Darren Sammy, Beau Webster
OUTS: Aiden Blizzard, Doug Bollinger, Ben Laughlin, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Owais Shah
