IPL Auction 2020: 5 players who could earn their maiden contracts

#3 Glenn Phillips

Glenn Philips is an opening batsman from New Zealand who can keep the wickets as well

Glenn Phillips is a South Africa-born cricketer who plays for New Zealand in international cricket. He made his T20I debut on 17 February 2017 during a T20 game between New Zealand and South Africa as a replacement for the injured Martin Guptill. Phillips plays the role of an opening wicket-keeper batsman for New Zealand and he has the talent to become a T20 star.

The Kiwi has played 11 T20I matches in his career, scoring 140 runs which includes one half-century. His highest score in this format is 56 runs. However, his numbers are much better in league cricket. Phillips would hope to bag his first IPL contract in 2020 as there are a few franchises who need to sign one backup wicketkeeper in the auction.

Delhi Capitals and Kings XI Punjab should target him in the upcoming auction as he can prove to be a great second choice if their frontline wicket-keepers get injured or are out of form. He can also prove to be a handy option with the bat in the top order.
