New Zealand add Devon Conway as cover for Watling

HAMILTON: New Zealand have added Devon Conway in their squad as an injury cover for regular wicketkeeper-batsman BJ Watling, who has picked up a hamstring niggle ahead of the two-match Test series against West Indies team which begins Thursday at the Seddon Park.

Watling picked up the injury in the opening round of the Ford Trophy, New Zealand Cricket informed on Tuesday.

"We have another injury cover. Devon Conway is here as cover for BJ Watling, who has a slight hamstring niggle that he picked up the day before (Sunday) in his last Ford Trophy match. What that would mean is that Tom Blundell would take the gloves if BJ is ruled out, and bat in the middle order. So that is why we had Conway at training today," New Zealand head coach Gary Stead said. IANS
