Andrew Cornaga/Photosport Devon Conway celebrates his maiden ODI century against Bangladesh, and will be taking guard in a test match as soon as June. They call him Steady, and when you’re talking Black Caps test cricket selections, coach Gary Stead lives up to that moniker. Dropping opener Jeet Raval 15 months ago after one test in Perth, and promoting Tom Blundell with stunning success in a losing cause in Melbourne, was one notable departure from the script. Since that awful Australian tour, a 3-0 defeat, Covid-19 ensured all New Zealand’s tests were at home as they swept past India, West Indies and Pakistan, all by 2-0, to be the first side into June 18’s World Test Championship final against India at the Rose Bowl.
