Bright Phiri, a top-order batter operating within Zimbabwe’s domestic cricket circuit.
Phiri represented his country at Under 19 level and was a key performer within Zimbabwe’s High Performance squad in 2017. His early promise was rewarded with a First-Class (Logan Cup) debut during the 2017/18 season. However, at just 18–19 years of age, the top-order batter featured only three times before falling out of the starting XI as competition for places intensified.
After two years away from the domestic scene, Phiri returned in outstanding fashion with a chart-topping National Premier League campaign for Amakhosi in 2020. His performances earned him a recall to the Tuskers across both red and white-ball formats, where he was also entrusted with the captaincy for the Pro50 competition, highlighting the regard in which he was held as both a player and leader.
Despite later falling out of the starting XI for various reasons, Phiri continued to perform consistently at National Premier League level and has since featured in both First-Class and List A fixtures during the 2024/25 domestic campaign, reaffirming his quality and resilience within a competitive system.
A technically sound top-order batter who can also offer useful off-spin, Phiri is now keen to broaden his horizons and is seeking his maiden season on UK soil. Alongside his playing ambitions, he is a keen and enthusiastic coach who is eager to fully immerse himself within a club’s coaching structure and mentor the next generation of junior cricketers.
Phiri has access to accommodation in Hull (HU8), making him an ideal option for clubs that may be limited in their ability to provide housing for overseas players.
At present, Bright would be required to secure a club before 26 January 2026 due to the elapsed timeframe of his First-Class matches and the requirements surrounding a club’s GBE endorsement. However, with further First-Class fixtures scheduled in early 2026, the Zimbabwean is confident he will feature in one or more of these matches, strengthening his eligibility.
There are no overseas stats available for this player.
