After a dynamic summer in Twenty20 cricket, Glenn Phillips was rewarded with his first Black Caps contract.
One blasted the Black Caps’ fastest Twenty20 international century off 46 balls; the other stamped his mark with maiden test and one-day international hundreds.

At the other end of the scale there was more frustration for test spinner Ajaz Patel who made the 20-strong England tour squad but dropped off the contract list after just one year. The left-armer played the last of his eight tests against India in February 2020, and after being sidelined by injury played just two first-class matches last season.
