Blow for CSK as Devon Conway ruled out for eight weeks

Chennai Super Kings have been dealt an injury blow ahead of their title defence as Devon Conway is set to be out of action at least until May. Conway, who was the player of the match in the summit clash last year against Gujarat Titans, will miss out at least for eight weeks after it was confirmed that he would be undergoing a surgery this week on his left thumb.

CSK Squad for IPL 2024: MS Dhoni (c), Moeen Ali, Deepak Chahar, Devon Conway, Tushar Deshpande, Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajay Mandal, Mukesh Choudhary, Matheesha Pathirana, Ajinkya Rahane, Shaik Rasheed, Mitchell Santner, Simarjeet Singh, Nishant Sindhu, Prashant Solanki, Maheesh Theekshana, Rachin Ravindra, Shardul Thakur, Daryl Mitchell, Sameer Rizvi, Mustafizur Rahman, Avanish Rao Aravelly

New Zealand rued his services in the first Test against Australia in Wellington. The team management called up Henry Nicholls into the squad as replacement but along expected lines, Will Young took up the spot vacated by Conway at the top of the order.
