Conway out of India ODI
\nLONDON
\nNew Zealand Cricket (NZC) said opener Devon Conway will miss the first one-day international against India due to a head injury after colliding with teammate Matt Henry during training at Eden Park in Auckland on Tuesday.
\nThe players were attempting a catch when they clashed and Conway was ruled out with concussion after a head injury assessment, NZC said in a statement.
\n\u201cBoth players will continue to be monitored and their involvement in the series against India will be updated in due course.\u201d
\nNew Zealand are already missing Rachin Ravindra due to a shoulder injury and Mark Chapman, who has a hamstring problem.
\nCaptain Mitchell Santner confirmed Tim Seifert will take Conway\u2019s place but was hopeful that Henry would be available for Wednesday\u2019s match.
\n\u201cHe (Conway) is obviously very good in one-day cricket and was biding his time in the T20 series,\u201d Santner told reporters.
\n\u201cI guess another one of those freak accidents that happens.\u201d India, who won the preceding T20 series 3-2, are using the five-match ODI series as part of their preparations for next year\u2019s World Cup.
\n\u201cThe World Cup will certainly be at the back of our mind,\u201d India captain Shubman Gill told reporters.
\n\u201cThese conditions are going to be much similar to those in South Africa \u2026 Keeping that in mind, the experience will be valuable for both our batters and bowlers.\u201d
\nGill and batter KL Rahul will sit out the final two ODIs to prepare for the two tests that follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
