There are high chances of him missing the entire IPL 2024 season starting from March 22.

Conway represented Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League. In IPL 2024, CSK will be looking to extend their title-winning streak for the sixth time. He has been ruled out of the second test match against Australia. The Aussies are leading the two-match series with 1-0. The second test clash will begin on March 8 at Christchurch.

He played a key role in CSK`s fifth title triumph last year. Featuring 16 matches, the eft-hander scored 672 runs at an average of 51.69 and a strike rate of over 139. Conway also had six half-centuries with a highest score of unbeaten 92 runs.

New Zealand coach Gary Stead said on the southpaw as quoted by ICC, "We are all feeling for Devon."

"He is a massive part of the Black Caps and we are going to miss his presence both on and off the field. We wish him all the best for his surgery

Also, inexperienced fast bowler Will O`Rourke injured his hamstring while bowling on the third day of the Wellington Test, which has ruled him out of the second Test.

New Zealand has resisted the urge to hand a shock recall to recently retired quick Neil Wagner and has instead picked the uncapped pacer Ben Sears for the second and final Test against the Aussies,
