Devon Conway’s story of moving from South Africa to New Zealand:
Devon Conway was born in Johannesburg in 1991, but moved to New Zealand in 2017. The southpaw, despite impressing in the second division matches, wasn’t being selected in the first-tier cricket of South African and sold everything and moved to his new home, New Zealand.
“I was always in and out of the team,” Conway told ESPNcricinfo. “I didn’t have a secure spot. I was also batting in different positions. In the T20s, I would open. In the one-dayers, I’d bat at No. 5. In the four-dayers, I’d probably be in if someone was left out.
“I’ve batted in all sorts of positions, sometimes even No. 7. I wouldn’t bowl either. Lack of clarity and my own inconsistency pushed me down the pecking order. I wouldn’t have been able to push my case forward, so I thought it was best to move.”
He recalled a conversation with his partner that changed everything: “I was playing golf with my partner, Kim, when I said to her: ‘I don’t feel like my game is going anywhere here’ and said that I’d be interested in moving to New Zealand,” he says. “She said, ‘Let’s do it then.’ I thought she was joking, but she wasn’t. I realised you’re only young once, so we should take the gamble. I don’t think it’s a decision we will never regret.”
2 years on from that move, he was topping the run-charts in New Zealand’s domestic cricket and soon got a call-up for the national side, and rest, as they say, is history.
