With the league stage nearly done, a lot of the overseas names from our signings list have gone home. Most of them left for the Abu Dhabi T10. Here's who, team by team, from OnlineKhabar's round-up on 12 November and the reports before it.

Kathmandu Gorkhas

David Warner has gone home after four games. Kathmandu won all four, and he made 127 runs, with 66 against Lumbini Lions his best. Gorkhas manager Deepak KC confirmed it on social media and thanked him, OnlineKhabar reported on 10 November.

Ripon Mondol left after two games when he was picked for Bangladesh A. KS Bharat never came, and joined the Emirates Eagles in the Abu Dhabi T10.

Biratnagar Kings

Andre Russell played five games. He'd come for four and stayed one more, then left for the Abu Dhabi T10. He made 158 runs and took six wickets, with four for 45 against Janakpur his best. His last game was the nine-wicket loss to Kathmandu, where he made 3.

Sri Lanka's Isuru Udana, a medium pacer and all-rounder, has come in for him. He made 25 not out off 12 to help beat Pokhara on 12 November.

Janakpur Bolts

Moeen Ali left after four games to captain the Arabian Aces in the Abu Dhabi T10. He made 108 runs, with 58 not out against Kathmandu. Parvez Hossain Emon left to join Bangladesh A.

Pakistan's Iftikhar Ahmed and Hunain Shah went home without playing a game, after disputes over their no-objection certificates (NOCs). OnlineKhabar notes that Saif Hassan wasn't in the side against Sudurpaschim on 10 November, but his departure hasn't been confirmed.

Ryan Burl and Harry Tector played their first games for Janakpur in that match.

Shakib Al Hasan played three games, took four wickets and made 26 runs, then left for the United Tigers in the Abu Dhabi T10. Mohammed Saifuddin left after one game.

Sudurpaschim Royals

Sherfane Rutherford left for the Royal Desert Champions in the Abu Dhabi T10 after four games, in which he made 30 runs.

Karnali Yaks and Chitwan Rhinos

Sahibzada Farhan never played for Karnali. He had NOC problems and was then picked for Pakistan. At Chitwan, Usama Mir, Hasan Ali and Mohammad Nawaz couldn't come because of NOC issues, and England's Dawid Malan, Dan Mousley and Tom Taylor took their places.
