New Zealand and Chennai Super Kings opener Devon Conway has been ruled out of the first half of the upcoming IPL 2024 season after suffering a thumb injury.
The left-handed Conway, player of the match in the IPL 2023 final against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad last year, suffered a thumb injury during the recently-concluded T20I series against Australia at home.
The 32-year-old was consequently ruled out of the ongoing two-match Test series. Conway is set to undergo a surgery this week.
“Following several scans and specialist advice, the decision was made to operate on Conway with a likely recovery period of at least eight weeks,” New Zealand Cricket (NZC) confirmed in their statement.
“We’re all feeling for Devon. He’s a massive part of the BLACKCAPS and we’re going to miss his presence both on and off the field,” Kiwi head coach Gary Stead added.
