However, because of New Zealand’s COVID-19 protocols, the Johannesburg-born Conway may not be able to return to the country. Currently, New Zealand only allows its permanent residents to depart and come back to the nation. In case Conway does not get permanent residency by July, he will face some issues upon his return to New Zealand.
Speaking on this issue on Friday (April 2), Gary Stead said:
Devon Conway received his maiden international cap in a T20I against West Indies last year. The southpaw has played three ODIs and 14 T20Is for the Blackcaps, scoring over 600 international runs at a 50+ average.
Devon Conway looks like he’s got all the skills of being an amazing player: Gary Stead
Gary Stead heaped praise on his team’s newest star for his consistent performances in the home season. Devon Conway cemented his place in the XI with one century and five half-centuries in 14 international innings.
Commenting on his phenomenal performances, Stead added:
It will be interesting to see if Conway gets an opportunity to play Test cricket for New Zealand later this year.
The ICC World Test Championship final will follow the New Zealand vs. England Test series, so the Blackcaps will be keen to give Conway some much-needed practice in the English conditions before the big match against India.
