Domestic and franchise career

Phillips was born in South Africa and moved to New Zealand at the age of five.[4] He was educated at Sacred Heart College where he played cricket.[5] He made his List A debut on 24 January 2015 in the Ford Trophy.[6]

Phillips made his Twenty20 debut on 4 December 2016 in the 2016–17 Super Smash against the Otago Volts, making 55 off 32 deliveries opening the batting.[7] He was the highest run-scorer in the Super Smash, with 369 runs. He scored his first century (116 not out) in the final regular season match against Central Districts where the Stags won by Duckworth-Lewis. He became the second domestic player since Hamish Marshall to score centuries in all three forms of the game, with Phillips being the first to do so within a single domestic season.[8][9][10]

He made his first-class debut on 6 March 2017 in the 2016–17 Plunket Shield season against Canterbury.[11] In June 2018, he was awarded a contract with Auckland for the 2018–19 season.[12]

Ahead of the 2018 Caribbean Premier League, he was named as one of five players to watch in the tournament.[13] In June 2020, he was offered a contract by Auckland ahead of the 2020–21 domestic cricket season.[14][15] In July 2020, he was named in the Jamaica Tallawahs squad for the 2020 Caribbean Premier League.[16][17] In 2021 he played for Welsh Fire in the inaugural season of the Hundred.[18] In August 2021, he was named in the Barbados Royals' squad for the 2021 Caribbean Premier League.[19]

On 29 November 2020, in the second match against the West Indies, Phillips scored his first century in T20I cricket.[29] It was also scored the fastest century by a New Zealand batsman in a T20I match, coming from 46 balls.[30]
