AFTER a lifetime dedicated to cricket, Phil Rodgers has reluctantly hung up his umpire counter.
His cricket journey began at the age of six, playing with his two older brothers for Stawell based Cornish Town Cricket Club and since then, he has graced the cricket field every season since.
However, with Phil’s health now a priority, he has made the tough decision to retire from the sport he loves.
Having been deeply involved in cricket throughout his life, with family members sharing his passion, Phil reflects on the mental toughness the game demands.
“It’s a tough mental game on people, it brings out the best in people, I believe,” he said.
