GSL: Gurbaz to replace Phillips in Amazon Warriors team

By Staff Editor Sun, July 5 2026, 9:58 AM GMT-4

The Global Super League (GSL) today said that Guyana Amazon Warriors have confirmed that Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz will replace New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips in their squad for the upcoming ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL).

A GSL release said that Phillips is unavailable due to injury.

Gurbaz returns to the Amazon Warriors setup with a wealth of experience and a strong familiarity with the franchise. The explosive top-order batter previously played for the Warriors during the 2022 and 2024 editions of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), where he established himself as one of the most exciting players in the competition.

He also played an important role in the Warriors’ successful ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League campaign in 2025, helping the team capture the title.
