Nic Maddinson returns to the squad after recovering from a sprained ankle in place of Nicholas Pooran, who has returned home.
Left-arm spinner Zahir Khan also returns as the overseas replacement player for Pooran, joining Haris Rauf and Andre Fletcher in the main squad.
Tonight's clash is the first of back-to-back matches against the Strikers, with the return leg to be played as the Stars' first home game of the season on January 15 at the MCG.
