Double century in debut test
Conway made his debut against England in June last year at Lord’s, where he scored a brilliant double century and then scored two half-centuries in the next two matches. These include the final of the World Test Championship against India. Due to injury, he could not come on the tour of India. He also scored a half-century in the first Test against Bangladesh and also became the first New Zealand batsman to score four fifty or more in the first 7 Tests. Conway reached his fifty off 101 balls. Conway has also played three ODIs and 20 T20 Internationals for New Zealand so far.
