Glenn Phillips Profile
Glenn Phillips is a compact, muscular hitter, known for playing outrageous shots, like the reverse pull. Born in South Africa, Phillips moved to New Zealand with his family at the age of five and has come through the cricket set-up in Auckland. He is a multi-dimensional player, who bats, bowls fastish off-spin, fields superbly inside the ring and in the outfield, and keeps part-time as well.
Although he made his T20I debut for New Zealand in 2017, he only cemented his place in the white-ball sides in 2020, using regular appearances in the CPL to hone his skills. In November 2020 against West Indies, he scored a 46-ball T20I century, then the fastest for a New Zealander, and he finished 2021 with the most sixes in T20s that year. Batting primarily in the middle order, Phillips was instrumental in New Zealand’s run to the 2021 T20 World Cup final and played an unforgettable inning in the 2022 edition – a 64-ball 104 against Sri Lanka in a match in which the other 19 batters combined to score 149 runs off the bat. He kicked off 2023 with a counterattacking half-century from No. 7 against Pakistan that clinched New Zealand’s first ODI series win in the subcontinent since 2008.
Glenn Phillips is widely tipped as one of the next-generation batsmen from the Antipodes nation. Having made his List A debut in 2015, Phillips shone for his Auckland franchise during that season’s domestic Twenty20 competition, making a 32-ball 55 on debut against Otago. He ended the tournament as the leading run-scorer for Auckland, piling up 369 runs while at it. That ensured a call-up to the national U-19 team, for the 2016 World Cup.
Phillip’s climb to the top of the ladder was swift and made his first-class debut during the 2016-17 season. His ability to score quickly was noticed and the batsman made his Twenty20 debut for New Zealand, against South Africa, in 2017. Known for his high-backlight and sprightly fielding, Phillips got plenty of opportunities in various T20 leagues across the globe. His record in the CPL in his debut season (2017) is nothing short of exceptional as he racked up 457 runs at 41.54 with a strike rate of 146.94.
Besides exhibiting great skill and consistency in the T20 leagues, Phillips also made the most of his opportunities for the New Zealand A side. His 64-ball 104 against Sri Lanka, at the SCG, during the 2022 T20 World Cup spoke volumes about the talent the pocket rocket has. A few months later (May 2023), Phillips smoked a 7-ball 25 (that included 3 sixes and one four) against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur, to turn the tables and help his team (SRH) record an unbelievable win. A gun fielder in the outfield, Phillips continues to remain an X-factor player for the Kiwis who could kill the game in a matter of minutes with his incredible ball-striking ability.
