Hose is competing in the tournament for the third time and for a second successive campaign with Desert Vipers in the six team competition.
 
The Vipers will launch their group programme on January 12 against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium.
 
A total of 34 matches will decide which two teams progress as the top two into the Qualifier with the winners going through to the final while the third and fourth placed teams will do battle in the Eliminator.
 
The final will take place in the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on February 9.
