Profile
An attacking left-handed batsman who relished batting at the top in limited-overs cricket, Conway is also an efficient wicket-keeper. Born and brought up in South Africa, Conway made a shift to New Zealand in 2017. With close to 100 First-class games and 70 List A games to his credit, Conway was already an established name in South Africa's domestic circuit and he hopes the experience gained there would help him in the new country. One of his biggest strengths is his adaptability across formats. On arriving in New Zealand, Conway joined the University Club and gradually started plying his trade in the Super Smash for the Wellington Firebirds. He was mostly a standby in the initial days with the odd game in between but first-choice keeper Tom Blundell's national call up allowed Conway more game time, thereby pushing his case further. Thereafter, he represented Wellington in all three formats of New Zealand's domestic season and has had reasonable success.

Conway made his debut for New Zealand after being eligible to play for the country from August 2020. Conway made his bow in the T20I format and soon was a part of all three formats. On his Test debut at Lord's, Conway made a superb 200 as he announced his arrival on the grandest stage in style. Currently Conway is an indispensable part of the New Zealand side and is one of their best batters.

Conway's exploits for New Zealand drew worldwide attention and he was picked by CSK in the 2022 mega auction for INR 1 Crore.
