Devon Conway leaves IPL mid-way for his wedding; unavailable for one week

The CSK opening batter Devon Conway has left bio-bubble for his wedding, which will take place in South Africa, according to an ESPNCricinfo report. As a result, he is unavailable for at least one week.

The report also states that the southpaw will rejoin the squad on April 24 (Sunday). However, he will have to isolate himself for three days and undergo mandatory covid tests before joining the practice sessions and the team camp. 

CSK will be up against Mumbai Indians (MI) on April 21 and will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) on April 25.

The stylish batter only featured in a single match, which was the tournament opener against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), wherein he could manage to score three of eight balls.

 On April 19, Conway organized a pre-wedding party for all the team members, including the support staff. The official Twitter account of CSK shared photos and videos of the event, where all the members were wearing the traditional Tamilian outfit.

In the IPL 2022 Auction, Conway was bought by CSK for his base price of INR 1 Crore. Although he was dropped after the first match, he has proved himself across all the formats of the game.

His numbers in international cricket are astounding, and he was one of the key performers to help the team lift the World Test Championship title last year. In 7 Tests, he has amassed 767 runs at an average of 63.91.

In 3 ODIs, he has garnered 225 runs at an average of 75, while he has 602 runs in 20 T20Is at an average of 50.16. If provided more chances, he is expected to do well for the franchise.
