Devon Conway will miss the remaining ODIs against India after sustaining a concussion during a fielding session. Nick Kelly has been brought into New Zealand’s senior squad earlier than planned to replace the left-handed opener.
The update was announced on November 6, ahead of the second ODI in Wellington.
Kelly’s arrival brought forward
Kelly had originally been selected for the fourth and fifth matches of the series. He instead joined the squad in Wellington as New Zealand adjusted their batting options following Conway’s absence.
Matt Henry, who was involved in the same training incident, was cleared of concussion. Conway’s exclusion applies to the remaining ODI matches.
A change for New Zealand A
Kelly’s move also affected the New Zealand A side. Auckland batter Dale Phillips was called in for the final four-day match against India A, scheduled to start on November 7.
The two changes link the senior and A-team squads during India’s tour, with Kelly taking Conway’s place in the ODI group and Phillips filling the opening left in the A-team selection.
