Devon Conway is set to miss a chunk of IPL 2024. He is likely to be replaced. CSK has a lot of New Zealand players in the squad. Kiwi coach Stephen Fleming could look to add one more player from his nation to the squad. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three New Zealand players whom CSK could target to replace Devon Conway for IPL 2024.
1) Finn Allen
In the last few seasons, Finn Allen was with RCB but he did not get a chance to make his debut. In the recent auctions, he was unsold.
Finn Allen has been in decent touch. Yes, he might struggle against the spinners but his game against the pacers and his aggressive nature in the powerplay could help the side. Under MS Dhoni, he could be different. Plus, he is a genuine wicket-keeper, which could further help the side.
2) Michael Bracewell
Michael Bracewell missed almost the last one year due to an injury. However, he recently played in the Super Smash. His name was also in the auctions.
Bracewell could serve as the backup for Moeen Ali, as well. He is an aggressive left-handed batter and a very useful right-arm spinner. MS Dhoni likes such multi-dimensional cricketers. Hence, he is a part of this list.
3) Mark Chapman
Mark Chapman is one of the New Zealand players whom CSK could target to replace Devon Conway for IPL 2024. The former Hong Kong and current New Zealand cricketer was one of the best T20 players of 2023.
He plays in the lower middle-order and is known for his big-hitting. Mark is also a decent off-spinner. Since CSK might need to plan for the future replacement of Moeen Ali, they can consider someone like Mark Chapman as a potential candidate to sign for IPL 2024.
