US Open champion Bianca Andreescu, the World No.6, is also in the draw.
Three Top 30 Americans feature in the draw: Auckland semifinalist Amanda Anisimova, Sofia Kenin, and Alison Riske - the latter two who both reached last year's Round of 16.
The tournament takes place from February 17 at the Aviation Club in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
