Devon Conway was understandably distraught, according to head coach Gary Stead
“He’s absolutely gutted to be ruled out like this at this time. Devon is hugely passionate about playing for the Black Caps. And no one is more disappointed at the moment than he is – so we’re really trying to rally around him.”
“It looked a pretty innocuous reactionary incident on the field. But the blow obviously caught the bat between the glove padding. And while it’s not the smartest thing he’s done there’s certainly an element of bad luck in the injury.”
Gary Stead said:
“Due to the timelines, we won’t be bringing in a replacement player for this World Cup. Or next week’s T20 series against India. But are working through our options for the Test series later this month,”
The India tour kicks off on November 17 in Jaipur with the first T20 match.
