England vs New Zealand 3rd Test: A three test match series is being played between England and New Zealand. England have taken a 2-0 lead in the series by winning the first two matches. Now the third match between the two teams will be played on December 14. The Kiwi team will want to avoid a clinch sweep by winning this match. But the New Zealand team has already suffered a major blow as star batsman Devon Conway has been ruled out of the third Test and his replacement has been announced.
Did not perform well in the first two matches
Opening batsman Devon Conway played the first two Tests against England, in which he did not play a big innings with his bat. Could only make 21 runs in four innings. Now he will not play in the third Test. He is expecting the birth of his first child in Wellington this week. They are about to welcome their first child. Mark Chapman has been included in the team in his place.
Coach Gary Stead said this
Coach Gary Stead said family comes first in this environment and we are all really excited to welcome Devon and his wife Kim’s first child. Mark was recently with the Test team in India. Apart from this, he scored 276 runs in the Plunkett Shield and is in good form. So this is a good time to join them.
Has not made his Test debut yet
Mark Chapman is yet to make his Test debut for New Zealand. But this 30-year-old batsman has played ODI and T20 international cricket. Chapman has so far scored a total of 564 runs in 26 ODI matches, with two centuries and one half-century. Apart from this, he has 1551 runs in 78 T20 international matches.
