Laravel validation for a number which should be exactly 10 digits

Question

I am trying to validate a form which has phone number and we want that to be exactly 10 digits. But it gives errors even when the input is right I am using the following code in the controller so please advise as to what needs to be changed.

public function tytraining(Request $request)
    {

        $this->validate($request, [
            'txt_name'  => 'required',
            'txt_email' => 'required|email',
            'txt_phone' => 'required|numeric|between:9,11'
        ]);

        $name = Input::get('txt_name');

        $email = Input::get('txt_email');

        $phone = Input::get('txt_phone');

        $type = "bls-training";
        $url = '?' . Input::get('url');

        $medicalRequest = new ParseObject("MedicalRequest");

        $medicalRequest->set("name", $name);
        $medicalRequest->set("email", $email);
        $medicalRequest->set("phone", $phone);
        $medicalRequest->set("type", $type);
        $medicalRequest->set("requestMessage", "training");
        $medicalRequest->set("url", $url);

        try {
            $medicalRequest->save();

        } catch (ParseException $ex) {
            echo(' Some Error Occured');
        }
    }

Please advise how should I do the validation through Laravel..

Thank you all in advance for spending your valuable time and going through my concern and helping me out.

use size and digits validation https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/validation#rule-digits

$this->validate($request, [
            'txt_name'  => 'required',
            'txt_email' => 'required|email',
            'txt_phone' => 'required|digits:10'
        ]);
