New Zealander Phillips is ruled out of the remainder of the IPL season due to a groin injury
Associated Press
AHMEDABAD, India (AP) — Gujarat Titans' batter Glenn Phillips of New Zealand has been ruled out of the remainder of the Indian Premier League due to a groin injury.
Phillips sustained the injury when he came on as a substitute fielder during Gujarat's game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 6.
The IPL said in a statement on Saturday that Phillips has 'returned to New Zealand.'
Phillips did not have a chance to start in any of the five Gujarat games this season. He is the second overseas player of the franchise to leave the tournament early after Kagiso Rabada of South Africa returned home on April 3 to deal with a personal matter.
It was not clear when Rabada will rejoin the team.
Gujarat has eight points from four wins in five games and is joint leader with Delhi Capitals, which has won all of its four games and also has eight points.
Jos Buttler of England, Afghanistan's Rashid Khan and Sherfane Rutherford of the West Indies are the overseas players who have played for Gujarat this season. It also has South African fast bowler Gerald Coetzee and Afghanistan's Karim Janat as overseas players in its ranks.

German qualifier Tatjana Maria wins Queen's Club final at age 37
Associated Press LONDON (AP) — German qualifier Tatjana Maria proclaimed herself 'Queen of Queen's' after winning the Wimbledon warm-up tournament at the Queen's Club for the biggest title of her career on Sunday. The 37-year-old mother of two claimed her first WTA 500 title with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over eighth-seeded Amanda Anisimova in the grass-court final in London. The 86th-ranked Maria won in front of her daughters Charlotte and Cecilia, and her husband and coach Charles-Edouard Maria. 'It means a lot to me," Maria said. 'I'm a good example that even in my age you still can win big trophies. I'm super proud of myself." On the way to her fourth WTA title, she eliminated four top 20 players, including Karolina Muchova, Elena Rybakina and Madison Keys, to become the oldest singles champion on the WTA Tour since 2020, when Serena Williams won the Auckland Classic at age 38. Maria previously won WTA titles on grass at Mallorca in 2018, and triumphed twice on clay in Bogota in 2022 and 2023. Maria, a former Wimbledon semifinalist, will jump to No. 43 in the world rankings on Monday. ___ AP tennis:
