NZ all-rounder Phillips out of Zimbabwe tour with injury
New Zealand all-rounder Glenn Phillips has been withdrawn from the team's tour of Zimbabwe because of a groin injury, the country's cricket board said on Friday. 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."

The triangular series will kick off on July 14 with a contest between the host Zimbabwe and South Africa, while New Zealand will feature in their first encounter on July 16 against South Africa. Each side will play the other twice before a final, which will be played on July 26. Wicketkeeper-batter Conway replaces Finn Allen, who missed the series due to a foot injury he picked up while playing in the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC) in the United States of America. A recovery timeline will be put in place for Allen upon further consultation in New Zealand. Hay, Neesham and Robinson join the squad as additional cover for Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra, who are in the Major League Cricket tournament final scheduled on Monday. The Kiwis' head coach, Rob Walter, was disappointed that Finn Allen wouldn't be a part of the setup. 'We're really gutted for Finn, I was looking forward to working with him and to see him continue his form from the MLC, but unfortunately, injuries happen. We're lucky to be able to call on someone of Devon's quality to replace Finn,' Rob Walter said.

Wicketkeeper-batter Devon Conway will replace the injured Finn Allen in the New Zealand squad for the 20-overs tri-series in Zimbabwe. Allen has been ruled out of the tournament after suffering a foot injury while representing the San Francisco Unicorns in the Major League Cricket competition in the United States. "We're really gutted for Finn," head coach Rob Walter said in a statement issued by the New Zealand association on Sunday. "I was looking forward to working with him and to see him continue his form from the MLC, but unfortunately injuries happen. "We're lucky to be able to call on someone of Devon's quality to replace Finn." Mitch Hay, Jimmy Neesham and Tim Robinson will also join the squad as cover for Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra, who are involved in the MLC final on Monday. "We knew there'd be a possibility that a handful of players could be involved in the MLC final on Monday, so we're bringing in Mitch, Jimmy and Tim as possible replacements," Walter said. Hosts Zimbabwe face South Africa in the tournament opener on Monday night (Australian time). New Zealand begin their campaign against South Africa on Wednesday.
