New Zealand's Devon Conway is ruled out of remaining ODIs after concussion, Matt Henry cleared for second match.
The Brief
- Devon Conway out for rest of series due to concussion.
- Matt Henry cleared to play in second ODI.
- Nick Kelly joins squad as Conway's replacement.
New Zealand has been dealt a major blow as batter Devon Conway has been ruled out of the remainder of the ODI series against India after sustaining a concussion, while fast bowler Matt Henry has been cleared to return to selection ahead of the second ODI in Wellington on Saturday.
Both players missed the series opener in Auckland on Wednesday after colliding during a fielding practice session on the eve of the match.
Nick Kelly, who was initially named only for the fourth and fifth ODIs, has been added to the New Zealand squad in Wellington as Conway's replacement.
Kelly has consequently been withdrawn from the New Zealand A squad, which is scheduled to face India A in the third match of their unofficial Test series in Lincoln on Saturday. Auckland batter Dale Phillips has been named as Kelly's replacement in the New Zealand A squad.
India began their five-match ODI series against New Zealand with a five-wicket victory (DLS method) in a rain-affected first ODI at Eden Park in Auckland on Wednesday, taking a 1-0 lead in the series.
Anshul Kamboj was named Player of the Match for his impressive figures of 2/22 in 10 overs.
