Rossouw, who lined up for Kulna Titans last year, was selected by last year's champions Rangpur Riders during Sunday's player draft.
The left-hander joins a star-studded line-up which includes powerful top-order hitters Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Alex Hales, as well as Bangladesh ODI skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza.
This year's competition will get underway on Saturday 5th January and is set to conclude on Friday 8th February.
