The BlackCaps have roped in Tim Seifert as Conway's replacement, who will return to Wellington to see a hand specialist to ascertain the extent of his injury. Seifert, who himself was ruled out pre-series with a torn-abductor, passed a late fitness test and will be with the New Zealand squad for the Sunday's final T20I in Auckland's Eden Park.
Furthermore, Kiwis coach Gary Stead also revealed that star all-rounder Rachin Ravindra's left knee injury would be monitored over the next 24 hours and a decision would be made for his availability on Sunday.
New Zealand are 0-2 down in the three-match series against Australia and will look to play for pride when the two sides lock horns in the third and final T20I at Eden Park on Sunday.
