Conway could potentially be selected for New Zealand’s tour of Bangladesh, which is scheduled for an August 12 start, but the uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has left a lot of things up in the air. Nevertheless, Conway is doing everything he can to stay ready.

“Little bit mixed feelings at the moment,” Conway said. “Obviously really happy to hear the news about my eligibility, but then again, in saying that, with regards to what’s happening at the moment throughout the world, just puts [everything] in perspective.

However, Conway remains realistic about his chances of breaking into a quality New Zealand side. “It’s really awesome to have that solid date, 28th of August, as a reminder to say that you’re pretty close,” he said. “In saying that, it doesn’t guarantee selection. So I am pretty pretty happy to hear about that, but you’ve just got to keep working hard and hopefully get an opportunity to break into that Black Caps team, which is pretty awesome at the moment – you’ve got world-class players there, and it won’t be easy to get into that team.”
