Devon Philip Conway (born 8 July 1991) is a cricketer, born in South Africa, who now plays in New Zealand,[1] where he became eligible to represent the New Zealand cricket team.[2][3] In March 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that Conway would be eligible to play for New Zealand from 28 August 2020.[4][5] In May 2020, New Zealand Cricket awarded him with a central contract, ahead of the 2020–21 season.[6][7]

Conway made his international debut for New Zealand in November 2020.[8] In June 2021, in his first Test match, Conway became the second batsman for New Zealand, and seventh overall, to score a double century on his Test debut.[9]

Early and domestic career

Conway started playing in South African domestic cricket. In August 2015, he was included in Gauteng's squad for the 2015 Africa T20 Cup.[10] He played in all three matches for Gauteng, scoring 53 runs.[11] In August 2017, at the age of 26, he moved to New Zealand to pursue a cricket career.[12]

In June 2018, he was awarded a contract with Wellington for the 2018–19 season in New Zealand.[13] In the second round of the 2018–19 Plunket Shield season, Conway scored an unbeaten double century against Otago at the Basin Reserve.[14] He was the leading run-scorer in the 2018–19 Super Smash, with 363 runs in nine matches.[15] He was also the leading run-scorer in the 2018–19 Plunket Shield season, with 659 runs in seven matches.[16]

In March 2019, he was named as the Men's Domestic Player of the Year at the annual New Zealand Cricket awards.[17] In October 2019, in the 2019–20 Plunket Shield season, Conway scored an unbeaten 327 for Wellington against Canterbury. It was the ninth triple century in first-class cricket in New Zealand.[18] He went on to score 393 runs in the match, the most number of runs scored in a single first-class match in New Zealand.[19] On 6 January 2020, in the 2019–20 Super Smash tournament, Conway scored an unbeaten century, from 49 balls.[20] He was the leading run-scorer in the tournament, with 543 runs in eleven matches.[21] He was also the leading run-scorer in the 2019–20 Ford Trophy, with 553 runs in ten matches,[22] and the leading run-scorer in the 2019–20 Plunket Shield season, with 701 runs in six matches.[23]

In April 2020, Conway was named as the men's domestic player of the year by New Zealand Cricket at their annual award ceremony.[24][25] The following month, he was signed by Somerset County Cricket Club to play in the 2021 t20 Blast in England.[26]

International career

In November 2020, Conway was named in the New Zealand A cricket team for practice matches against the touring West Indies team.[27][28] Later the same month, he was named in New Zealand's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for the series against the West Indies.[29] He made his T20I debut for New Zealand on 27 November 2020, against the West Indies.[30] In December 2020, Conway was added to New Zealand's Test squad,[31] covering for BJ Watling who suffered a hamstring injury.[32]

In March 2021, Conway was named in New Zealand's One Day International (ODI) squad for their series against Bangladesh.[33] He made his ODI debut for New Zealand on 20 March 2021, against Bangladesh.[34] On 26 March 2021, Conway scored his first century in ODI cricket, in the third match of the series against Bangladesh.[35]

In April 2021, Conway was named in New Zealand's Test squad for their series against England,[36] and for the final of the 2019–21 ICC World Test Championship.[37] Conway made his Test debut on 2 June 2021, for New Zealand against England.[38] In the match Conway became the 12th batsman for New Zealand to score a century on his Test debut,[39] and the first visiting batsman after Sourav Ganguly to hit a century at Lord's on Test debut.[40] Conway's score of 200 was the highest score by a men's Test debutant in England,[41] and became the 2nd player to smash a double century on England soil[42]
