Josh Philippe

Josh Philippe is an aggressive wicketkeeper-batter whose attacking style is well suited to the fast pace of The Hundred. He is most effective at the top of the order, where he can take advantage of the powerplay, target boundary options early, and put pressure on bowlers before they settle into their spells.

His value in The Hundred comes from his ability to score quickly against both pace and spin while keeping the scoreboard moving through inventive stroke play. Philippe can be a high-impact option when opening the batting, although his positive approach can sometimes bring added risk during the early stages of an innings.

As a wicketkeeper, he also provides additional value behind the stumps, making him a useful all-round selection for his team. From a fantasy perspective, his appeal is strongest when he is confirmed to open, as that gives him the best opportunity to face a high number of balls and contribute through runs, boundaries, catches, and stumpings.
