So, the 27-year-old player has given a big statement about this and said that he does not like wicketkeeping at all and when he suffered a back injury, he started speaking more openly about this. Also, Phillips has clearly told the New Zealand Cricket Board that if they want to select him in the team as a wicketkeeper, then they should not select him. It is worth noting that since his debut in 2017, Phillips has been selected in the team as an all-rounder only once, while every time he gets a place in the Kiwi team as a wicketkeeper. Glenn Phillips made a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Wisden, Glenn Phillips said- I did not like wicketkeeping for a long time before the back injury, but after this injury I got an excuse not to do it. It started with telling New Zealand Cricket that I do not want them to select me if I play as a wicketkeeper. Phillips further said- I got into the career boat with my skills and thankfully it worked out for me. I hate doing something with passion, but I will do the work that I enjoy. On the other hand, this change has been seen in Phillips’ game as well. As a wicketkeeper, his average in T20 format is 18.4 and strike rate is 117.94. Whereas when he plays with the team as an all-rounder, his average is 34.28 and strike rate is 143.67.

He recently bowled very well for India A against England Lions. The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced the Indian team for the remaining three Tests against England. Virat Kohli has been out of this series due to personal reasons while Shreyas Iyer will not be able to participate in the Test series being played against England due to injury. Talking about Akash Deep, he has got a place in the Indian team for the first time. Today we will tell you about the three main reasons why the decision to include this young fast bowler in the Indian team is right. 1- India needs to give maximum opportunities to young fast bowlers Akash Deep (Photo Source: Twitter) Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj have bowled very well for the Indian team for some time now. However, Jasprit Bumrah may be rested in the third Test due to workload while Mohammed Shami is not playing in this Test series due to injury. Mohammad Siraj may also be given a chance in the third test. At present, the fast bowlers of the Indian team are continuously getting injured and for this reason the team should also give opportunities to new players so that they also have options. It has also been seen that if Mohammad Siraj is not in his best form then he can give away a lot of runs.
