New Zealand team has suffered a major setback as star opening batsman Devon Conway was out of the third Test

Under the World Test Championship 2023-25, q three-Test series is being played between New Zealand and England. England have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead by winning the first two Tests in the series. Meanwhile, the New Zealand team has suffered a major setback. The Kiwi team's star opening batsman Devon Conway has been ruled out of the third Test. The reason for his exclusion from the last and third Test of the series is that he is soon going to become the father of his first child. In his place, Mark Chapman has been included in the New Zealand squad, who will play the third Test in place of Conway.

While New Zealand had to face defeat by 8 wickets at the hands of England in the first Test, in the second Test, it had to face a big defeat by a margin of 323 runs. In this way, another bad news is coming for the Kiwi team that has lost the series. The Black Caps have shared a post from their X account and informed that the team's star opener Devon Conway will miss the last Test of the series. Mark Chapman will now be seen playing in his place.

The bat of Devon Conway has been cold in the series so far. After scoring only 2 runs off 8 balls in the first innings of the first Test for New Zealand, he managed only 8 runs off 26 balls in the second innings as well. After that, in the first innings of the Second Test of this series, he could make 11 runs off 27 balls, and he returned to the pavilion in the second innings without opening his account on five balls. He could score a total of only 21 runs in four innings of two matches of this series thus.

New Zealand, the host of England in the series, is in much worse shape. The Kiwi team lost the first Test by 8 wickets and in the second Test also, it miserably misfired in all three departments of the game. In such a situation, England, which had already been out of the race for the World Test Championship 2023-25 final, has given a bad dent to New Zealand too.
