Star All-Rounder Ruled Out Of New Zealand's Tri-Series In Zimbabwe
New Zealand Cricket withdrew Glenn Phillips from the T20I tri-series and Test series in Zimbabwe due to a groin injury. Tim Robinson will replace him in the T20I series. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has withdrawn all-rounder Glenn Phillips from the men's squad for the ongoing T20I tri-series and the two Test series that'll begin on July 24 in Zimbabwe. He will return to New Zealand. The board in a statement on Friday, said Phillips suffered a right groin injury during the Major League Cricket (MLC) — the T20 competition in the US — final held between MI New York and Washington Freedom. He was assessed on arrival in Zimbabwe where it was determined that he would require a few weeks to rehabilitate. 'It's obviously disappointing to lose someone of Glenn's calibre. 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," head coach Rob Walter said in a statement. Tim Robinson will replace him in the squad. Robinson joined the squad as cover for players involved in the MLC final and will now stick around for the remainder of the T20I tri-series. Robinson, 23, hit 75 not out off 57 balls to win the Player of the Match for New Zealand in their 21-run win over South Africa in the tri-series game on July 16. NZC further said they'll name Phillips' replacement for the Test series in due course. Mitch Hay and Jimmy Neesham, who were also called in as cover alongside Robinson, will join him on the way back home. One of the most athletic true all-rounders — who can bat, bowl, keep wickets and is electric in the outfield — in the world, this is not the first time Phillips has been unlucky with a groin injury. He was ruled out of the IPL 2025 with the Gujarat Titans due to a similar concern. view comments First Published: July 18, 2025, 17:07 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

MI New York beat Washington Freedom to lift Major League Cricket Trophy
MI New York clinched their second Major League Cricket Trophy in three years defeating Washington Freedom by five runs with former South African keeper-batter Quinton de Kock smashing a fine half-century at the Grand Prairie Stadium here. De Kock's 46-ball 77, studded with six boundaries and four sixes, helped MI New York, owned by IPL franchise Mumbai Indians, to a competitive 180 for 7 in 20 overs. In reply, Washington Freedom could only manage 175/4 despite New Zealand opening batter Rachin Ravindra's quick-fire 70 (41 balls) and country-mate Glenn Phillips unbeaten 34-ball 48. MI New York openers Monank Patel (28) and De Kock laid the platform for a fighting total with a 72-run stand before West Indian Nichola Pooran (21) and De Kock put up another half-century partnership. New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson (3/21) was the most successful Washington Freedom bowler, accounting for both the openers and the dangerous Kieron Pollard for a duck. Washington Freedom were off to a bad start, losing opener Mitchell Owen and Andries Gous for duck before Ravindra and Jack Edwards steadied the innings with an 84-run third-wicket stand. But the departure of Ravindra as he tried to go for a big hit to accelerate the run-rate in the 16th over saw Washington Freedom lose the way. This is Mumbai Indians' 13th major title globally, and their third in 2025, following MI Cape Town's SA20 win and the Mumbai Indians Women's triumph in the WPL earlier this year. Brief scores: MI New York 180 for 7 in 20 overs (Quinton de Kock 77, Lockie Ferguson 3/21) beat Washington Freedom 175 for 5 in 20 overs (Rachin Ravindra 70, Glenn Phillips 48 not out; Trent Boult 2/32, Rushil Ugarkar 2/32).
