NEW DELHI: Ahead of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL), the Chennai Super Kings received a significant setback as New Zealand opener Devon Conway is set to undergo surgery on his left thumb. The recovery period is estimated to be a minimum of eight weeks.
Conway sustained the injury during the second T20I against Australia, prompting him to leave the field for an X-ray examination. Fortunately, the X-ray revealed no obvious fracture. However, after further scans and consultation with specialists, the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) confirmed the necessity of surgery for Conway.
