Conway said-
“Yeah, I’ve been working quite closely with Luke Ronchi and he’s been around Wellington,” Conway said. “He’s had a fair bit of experience playing in the UAE, so I’ve had a lot of conversations with him about certain game plans and what to expect and what a certain way of scoring looks like. So, there’ve been quite a lot of conversations, so I suppose sometimes it’s a lot better experience than at the nets prior to the game starts, so I look forward to getting over there and training.”

At the end of the day, it’s still another game of cricket-
The experience of having dealt with pressure at the WTC final against India will also be beneficial for Conway. “The bigger thing for me is, try not to make too much of a big occasion out of it,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s still another game of cricket… so, it’s about taking each game at a time and not looking too far ahead. Then in saying that, being in the UAE, trying to experience the occasion will be pretty cool. It’ll be one of those where I try and cherish for a long time, but definitely looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead.”
