The former Grey High learner took the CSA T20 Challenge by storm finishing as the second highest runs-scorer.
He smashed 293 runs in only seven innings at 48.83 per innings and at a strike rate of 183.12.
Stubbs was on tour with SA A in Zimbabwe for a T20 series when he received the call up.
He joins another exciting young SA talent Dewald Brevis at the Indians who have struggled in this season's competition managing only one win in nine games.
