    Glenn Phillips Reveals Ambidextrous Training Strategy to Counter Left-Arm Spin

    Analysis by Third Umpire·January 6, 2026

    New Zealand all-rounder Glenn Phillips, a dynamic force in T20 cricket, has revealed a long-term strategic development plan involving training as a left-handed batter. Phillips, who occasionally switches his stance during matches, explained that this is not a temporary experiment but a calculated move to enhance his game, particularly against left-arm spin bowling.

    The right-handed batter stated that he has been training ambidextrously since he was young, and now uses the practice to keep both sides of his brain working and to counteract specific bowling threats. This innovative approach, which he successfully implemented in a recent Super Smash T20 match, highlights Phillips' commitment to maximizing his versatility and value in the T20 format, making him an even more formidable asset for any franchise.

    Shreyas Iyer Emerges as Frontrunner for India T20I Squad Following Stellar IPL 2025 Form

    Iyer, who recently made a comeback after himself recovering from an injury, may be seen getting a place in India's T20I side to act as a cover for the Hyderabad cricketer. Although not official, the Mumbai batter has emerged as the frontrunner to replace Tilak, which could mark a comeback for him into the T20I side after more than three years.
