Lancashire sign West Indies pace bowler Anderson Phillip
Lancashire Cricket have completed the overseas signing of West Indies pace bowler Anderson Phillip for the final three matches of the Vitality County Championship.
The 28-year-old arrived in the UK on Saturday and will go straight into the Lancashire squad to take on Durham at Chester-le-Street starting on Monday.
Phillip has made two Test Match and five One Day International appearances for West Indies and in 33 First-Class matches has taken 114 wickets at an average of 23.
During the 2023/24 West Indies First-Class Championship, playing for Trinidad & Tobago, Phillip took 29 wickets in seven matches at an average of 18.
Director of Cricket Performance Mark Chilton said: “We are really pleased to bolster our pace attack with the addition of Anderson for our remaining matches in this summer’s Vitality County Championship.
“Adding further pace to our bowling attack for the final matches of the red ball season has been a key aim for myself and Dale and it’s great to be able to welcome Anderson into the group.
“We are looking forward to seeing what he can bring to our side starting tomorrow up in Durham as we aim for a strong end to the season.”
