Devon Conway will miss the first ODI against India after a training incident involving teammate Matt Henry left him with a concussion.
The pair collided while attempting a catch during a fielding session at Eden Park, a day before New Zealand’s encounter with the tourists. Medical staff treated both players on site and carried out Head Injury Assessments.
Conway ruled out after hospital checks
Conway was taken to hospital for further examination, which confirmed the concussion and ruled him out of the match. New Zealand Cricket said both players will continue to be monitored. Henry remains under consideration for selection.
The hosts already have to contend with the absence of Mark Chapman and Rachin Ravindra, who are both sidelined through injury.
