NZ’s Phillips out of IPL with injury

AFP, New Delhi :

New Zealand (NZ)’s Glenn Phillips has left his IPL team Gujarat Titans to return home due to injury and will miss the rest of the T20 tournament, the franchise said Saturday.
All-rounder Phillips sustained a groin injury in his team’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 6, Gujarat said in a statement.

Gujarat, who won the IPL in their debut edition in 2022, will face Lucknow Super Giants in an away game on Saturday afternoon.

Phillips was not picked by Gujarat for any of the matches this season but came on as a substitute in Sunday’s match when he suffered the injury while fielding as he limped off the ground.
Gujarat have not named Phillips’ replacement.
