Devon Conway, the main and most reliable opening batsman of the Kiwi team, has been officially ruled out of this entire ODI series due to injury. His absence has dealt a huge blow to New Zealand's batting order, because the absence of an experienced player like Conway is a big loss for the Kiwi team, which is already lagging in the series.

Interestingly, Nick Kelly was earlier selected in the team only for the last two matches of this series i.e. the fourth and fifth ODI matches. But now after Conway is out of the series, the selection committee has taken a big decision and included him with the main team for the entire series, and it is expected that he will be able to make his place in the starting eleven as well. On the other hand, a relief news for the New Zealand team is that Matt Henry, who had a collision with Conway, has now fully recovered. The medical panel has cleared Matt Henry of concussion, and he will be fully available for selection in the second ODI to be played on Saturday.
