Star Kiwi opener Devon Conway has been ruled out of the NZ vs PAK 4th T20I after testing positive for COVID-19. His last-minute exclusion from the side could see Chad Bowes come into the fray in the fourth match at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
However, Conway getting tested for COVID-19 also means that other New Zealand and Pakistan players are also at risk of contracting the virus. With the Shaheen Afridi-led side already struggling in the series, a loss of a player could see them lose 5-0.
