 Phillips faces more competition from Pakistan's Kaneria next year |
Tim Phillips has extended his Essex deal by two years, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2009 season. The left-arm spinner, 25, was awarded his county cap last term, during which he claimed 60 wickets in all cricket.
"To be given this new contract is another reflection of how I've progressed this year," he said.
"Now that I've established myself I want to push on by taking more wickets, scoring more runs and generally improving on what I've done this year."
Phillips added: "Hopefully I can still do that with (fellow spinners) Danish Kaneria and James Middlebrook also here and playing for places."
