Devon Philip Conway (born 8 July 1991) is a New Zealand cricketer who plays for the New Zealand cricket team in all formats.[1][2] In March 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that Conway, who was born in South Africa, would be eligible to play for New Zealand from 28 August 2020.[3][4] In May 2020, New Zealand Cricket awarded him a central contract, ahead of the 2020–21 season.[5][6]

Conway made his international debut for New Zealand in November 2020.[7] In June 2021, in his first Test match, Conway became the second batter for New Zealand after Mathew Sinclair, and seventh overall, to score a double century on his Test debut.[8] During the same month, Conway was also a member of the New Zealand team that won the 2021 ICC World Test Championship final, and had a key contribution scoring 54 runs in the first innings. He was named the ICC Men's Player of the Month for June 2021[9] and in April 2022, Conway was named as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year.[10]
