Batter tim robinson

New Zealand Cricket: Batting all-rounder Glenn Phillips has been withdrawn from New Zealand’s squad for the ongoing men’s T20I tri-series in Zimbabwe after injuring his right groin.

New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said on Friday that Phillips suffered the injury during the Major League Cricket (MLC) final held between MI New York and Washington Freedom and was assessed on arrival in Zimbabwe, where it was determined he would require a number of weeks to rehabilitate.

Batter Tim Robinson, who joined the squad as cover for players involved in the MLC final, will now stay with the squad for the remainder of the T20I tri-series. Robinson had hit 75 not out for New Zealand in their 21-run win over South Africa in the tri-series game held on July 16.
