New Zealand have suffered another setback ahead of their ODI series against India, with wicketkeeper-batter Devon Conway ruled out of the opening match after sustaining a concussion during a training session. The incident occurred at Eden Park, where Conway collided with teammate Matt Henry while attempting to take a catch.
The first ODI is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, November 4, at Eden Park in Auckland. Conway’s absence adds to New Zealand’s growing injury concerns, as Mark Chapman and Rachin Ravindra have already been ruled out of the series. The team has announced replacements for both players.
