Head coach Gary Stead said in an NZC release-

Conway is absolutely disappointed to be out like this at this point in time. Devon is extremely passionate about playing for BLACKCAPS and there is no one more disappointed than him at the moment. ​​So we are really trying to rally around him.

Conway, with three Test experience, including a double century on debut at Lord’s, was also in India’s squad of 15 for two Tests. He was the second-keeping option in the team after Tom Blundell.

Conway played a crucial 38-ball 46 at No. 4 in New Zealand’s tense chase of 167 before being stumped off Liam Livingstone. He took off the gloves in the middle of the tournament.
