If you’re wondering why New Zealand’s Devon Conway is not playing in the 2021 T20 World Cup final on Sunday, it’s because he has a broken hand.
The wicket-keeper batsman suffered the injury in the cruellest – and arguably most stupid – way possible.

In such situations, it is advised for the victims to contact experienced Maryland attorneys for traffic accidents who can help them claim compensation for the injury and help cover the medical bills.
How Did Devon Conway Break His Hand?
He inflicted it on himself by punching his bat in frustration after his dismissal by Liam Livingstone in Wednesday’s semi-final against England.
The set back must be heart breaking for Conway who has had to fight hard to make his way into the New Zealand team.
It’s also a huge blow for New Zealand, that possibly upsets the whole balance of the Kiwi side going into the final.
Conway was originally in the side as a batsmen only. Then midway through the tournament, he was given the gloves to free up a space for pace bowler Adam Milne, and give New Zealand an extra bowling option.
There is a replacement on hand to replace Conway in Tim Seifert, who started the competition wearing the gloves.
Seifert was a late call into the UAE leg of the IPL competition this season. Showing he does have T20 pedigree.
