Nicholls replaces Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz as overseas player for the final two matches of the competition and would also be available for the quarter-finals if Derbyshire progress.
The 26-year-old has made 49 appearances for his country across all formats, scoring 875 runs in 38 T20 matches.
He also has experience in the Big Bash League representing Sydney Thunder in 2016.
Nicholls said: "It's an important week for the Club as they attempt to lock-down a quarter-final place.
"Wahab has done an unbelievable job as overseas, and I'm excited to now be joining Derbyshire and fellow Black Cap Lockie Ferguson as we look to get over the line in the final two games."
