New Zealand got a big blow
Devon Conway Ruled Out: The 2-match Test series between Australia and New Zealand is going to start from 29th February. The first match of the series between the two teams will be played in Wellington. Before this match, a team has suffered a big setback. A star player of the team is out of the first match of the series due to injury. The selectors have also announced the replacement of this player.
This player was out of the first test
New Zealand’s star opener Devon Conway has been ruled out of the opening test of the two-match series against Australia. Henry Nicholls has been called into the team in place of Devon Conway. Devon Conway is struggling with an injury to his left thumb, due to which he has had to withdraw from the first match of the series. However, it is not yet clear whether he will be available for selection in the second Test starting from March 8 in Christchurch.
Got injured during T20 series
Devon Conway suffered a left thumb injury while keeping wicket during the second T20 match of the recently concluded three-match series against Australia at Eden Park in Auckland. Due to this injury, he was also out of the last match of the T20 series. New Zealand head coach Gary Stead is disappointed by Conway’s injury and is aware of his importance in the batting order. Stead said it was disappointing for Devon to be ruled out on the eve of an important match. He is a quality player for us batting at the top of the order and I know he was really looking forward to this series.
New Zealand team for the first test:
Tim Southee (captain), Tom Blundell (wicketkeeper), Matt Henry, Scott Kuggeleijn, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Will O’Rourke, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Neil Wagner, Kane Williamson, Will Young.
