The worst has come true. Ace Kiwi batter Devon Conway has been ruled out of IPL 2024. Chennai Super Kings were hopeful of the southpaw’s return. But now, they have gone on to sign Richard Gleeson as Conway’s replacement for the remainder of the season.
IPL Statement on Conway
Devon Conway has been ruled out of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 due to an injury. Conway, who represented Chennai Super Kings (CSK) over the course of the last two IPL seasons, played 23 matches and scored 924 runs, which included 9 half-centuries and a highest score of 92*.
CSK have added Richard Gleeson to the squad for the remainder of the TATA IPL 2024. Gleeson has represented England in 6 T20Is and has 9 wickets against his name. Additionally, Gleeson has played 90 T20s and picked 101 T20 wickets. He will join CSK for his reserve price of INR 50 Lac.
Devon Conway earlier was injured and underwent a surgery on his thumb. It was stated that he would need around 7-8 weeks to recover from his injury. As a result, Chennai Super Kings were hopeful of his return midway into the tournament. However, now the ace Kiwi batter has been ruled out of the tournament, in what appears to be a big blow to CSK.
