NZ all-rounder Phillips out of Zimbabwe tour with injury
Phillips, who suffered the injury during the Major League Cricket final in Dallas, would require "a number of weeks" to recover, New Zealand Cricket said in a statement.
The 28-year-old will miss the tri-series, also involving South Africa, and the subsequent two-test series against hosts Zimbabwe.
New Zealand are already without batter Finn Allen, who was ruled out of the tri-series with a foot injury suffered in the MLC.
"It's obviously disappointing to lose someone of Glenn's calibre," head coach Rob Walter said.
"Much like Finn, we really feel for Glenn and that he misses out on this series.
"We know he was eager to get out on the field for the Blackcaps and unfortunately, he won't be able to do that for this series.
"We know he'll work hard to get himself back onto the park, and I look forward to when that happens."
Phillips' replacement in the test squad will be named later, the NZC added.

Michael Clarke proves he's still a heavy hitter in the cricket world as he holidays with one of the most powerful men in the sport
Michael Clarke 's recent holiday snaps show that he is still a heavy hitter in the cricket world, with the former Aussie star mixing with one of the most powerful men in the sport. The 44-year-old, who was born in Liverpool, New South Wales, is well known as being one of Australia 's greatest-ever batsmen, ranking sixth on the list of the country's all-time top run-scorers. He rose to stardom, ranking as the No 1 Test batsman in the world at one stage of his career, doing so after overcoming the adversity of a back injury, which plagued the former Australia captain during the later stages of his career. During his glittering 12-year international cricket career, the Aussie would go on to score 8,643 runs across 115 Test matches for Australia, amassing a jaw-dropping 978 fours during that time. He'd also go on to score 13,826 First Class runs for New South Wales. He'd retire from Test cricket in 2015 following a glittering career, but is still mixing with some big names from the sport. In fact, pictures from his most recent vacation to Sardinia with his girlfriend, Arabella Sherborne, show the former cricketer spending some time with Lalit Modi, the former chairperson and founder of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Modi has also served as the President of the Rajasthan Cricket Association and was appointed the Vice President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) between 2005 and 2010. Back in 2013, Modi was banned by the BCCI for 'indiscipline and misconduct'. He denies any wrongdoing in relation to the ban. In March, the Prime Minister of Vanuatu ordered the cancellation of the passport of the Indian businessman Modi. Despite that, he is understood to now live in the United Kingdom, and still wields some influence within the sport. During his vacation, Clarke was sitting down for dinner with his girlfriend, Sherbourne, as well as Modi and Rima Bouri. Clarke also published a photograph of himself and the former cricket executive, presenting Modi with one of his Australia jerseys that had been signed by several other members of the team. In another picture, the pair were seen enjoying what appeared to be a deep conversation by a pool in Sardinia. It appears he may publish some parts of their conversation on his Beyond23 Cricket Podcast, after the former Aussie Test skipper tagged the podcast in the image. Clarke and Sherborne celebrated their one-year anniversary in May, and now the cricketer has appointed her as his executive assistant During his Sardinia getaway, Clarke was also pictured filming with journalist Piers Morgan for the podcast. Morgan is known to be a big cricket fanatic. It comes after a sad detail was revealed that suggested that some of Clarke's former team-mates have cut him out of their lives. During a podcast, Phil Rothfield and Andrew Webster had revealed that the cricketer's former team-mates have very little to do with Clarke. The revelation stemmed from a confrontation he had in the dressing room with Simon Katich during Australia's 2009 Test series against South Africa. During a match at the Sydney Cricket Ground, which was also Matthew Hayden's final appearance in the Baggy Green cap. Clarke had lashed out at delays of the performance of team's song, Under the Southern Cross I Stand. He had been looking to rush off to fulfil plans away from the team. Katich was unimpressed by his actions, allegedly grabbing the batter by the throat as the confrontation escalated.

Get set for a totally WICKET summer: The Hundred is rolling into cities across the UK - this is how YOU and your family can join the fun
The Hundred will soon be in cities across the UK - and it's going to be this summer's ultimate family day out! Cricket's most exciting tournament is famous for delivering edge-of-your seat sporting action paired with blockbuster entertainment in the stands. And thanks to its Principal Partner, Compare the Market, you can expect more fun (and fur) at every fixture, with live music, DJs, pyros, giveaways and lots more. It's cricket - made simples. Below, we tell you everything you need to know about The Hundred, from the format of the tournament to the amazing entertainment on offer at every fixture - and how your family can join in the fun! What is The Hundred? The Hundred involves eight teams featuring some of cricket's biggest stars that go head-to-head over five weeks this August. The idea is simple - each side gets 100 balls each, and the one who hits the most runs is declared the winner. This means every ball counts, so expect high stakes, edge-of-your-seat action right from the get go! As a new format, there are some new rules, like a 25-ball powerplay - when only two fielders are allowed out of the 30-yard circle around the stumps. This should make it easier for batters to smash boundaries, including fours and sixes! The result is a game of cricket more exhilarating and unmissable than ever. And because each side comes from one of seven cities - Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds, London, Manchester, Nottingham and Southampton - there's the added excitement of getting behind your local team and cheering them towards the final at Lord's on 31 August. Every team has their own men's and women's squad, with the competitions running alongside each other.

You could even appear on the big screen by scanning a QR code for the ever popular Meerkat Crowd Cam... Taking part in The Hundred is an unforgettable experience for the whole family. And to help you build up for match day, Compare the Market have teamed up with The Hundred to create a brand new, free interactive activity pack!
