CSK Player Gets Lifeline To Push for IPL 2026 Retention After Replacing Former RCB Star for T20I Tri-Series

He had an underwhelming IPL 2025.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) wicketkeeper-batter Devon Conway has been included in New Zealand’s T20I squad for the upcoming Tri-series involving Zimbabwe and South Africa. He was initially not named, but an injury to Finn Allen opened the doors for his return.

Allen suffered a foot injury while playing for the San Francisco Unicorns in the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025. He has been ruled out of the remainder of the series. Conway comes as a like-for-like replacement, given he also opens the innings and keeps the wickets. His last outing for the Kiwis in the shortest format came in the T20 World Cup last year, when New Zealand were eliminated in the group stage. Since then, the team has given chances to Rachin Ravindra and Tim Seifert, who have done reasonably well and supported Finn Allen precisely at the top.

Meanwhile, New Zealand have also added Mitch Hay, James Neesham, and Tim Robinson as a cover for Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, and Rachin Ravindra. They will be involved in the MLC 2025 final between Washington Freedom and MI New York on Monday (July 14). They might be unavailable for the initial match of the Tri-series on the same day.

Devon Conway gets a lifeline to push for IPL 2026 retention

While dropped initially, Devon Conway has a chance to impress in the Tri-series. Additionally, he can press a case for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 retention. He had an underwhelming IPL 2025. He could muster only 156 runs at a meagre average of 26 and a 131.09 strike rate in six innings, including two fifties.

Conway’s poor form was one of the reasons behind CSK’s mediocre performances throughout the season. He couldn’t provide consistent starts from the top and put ample pressure on the middle order. Even in MLC 2025, the southpaw wasn’t up to the mark. He could score only 135 runs at a strike rate of 127.35 across four innings and was dropped.

He was bought for a big INR 6.25 crores in the IPL 2025 auction. But CSK might release him to free some budget and get better players. The only way for him to secure retention is by performing consistently for New Zealand and other T20 leagues, thereby regaining form.

The Tri-series comes as an ideal opportunity, and Conway must make it count in Allen’s absence. That will help him in two ways: returning to the national squad and boosting his IPL 2026 retention chances.
