    "editor1": "<p><strong>Johannesburg, March 31:<\/strong>&nbsp;The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that South Africa-born batsman Devon Conway, who plays for Wellington, will be eligible to play for New Zealand from August 28.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Conway, who left Johannesburg in September 2017 to make a career in New Zealand, has been granted an &quot;exceptional circumstance dispensation&quot; by the ICC, which means he can play in tour games before his August 28 eligibility deadline, leaving him available for selection for New Zealand&#39;s tour of Bangladesh, which is scheduled to start on August 12, or for New Zealand A&#39;s tour of India, which is set to begin on August 15, reports ESPNcricinfo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The left-handed batsman scored 1598 runs at a stellar average of 72.63 in 17 first-class games for Wellington. He scored four hundreds, including an unbeaten 327 against Canterbury last October, only the eighth triple-hundred scored in New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s really awesome to have that solid date, 28th of August, as a reminder to say that you&#39;re pretty close,&quot; Conway said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;In saying that, it doesn&#39;t guarantee selection. So I am pretty happy to hear about that, but you&#39;ve just got to keep working hard and hopefully get an opportunity to break into that Black Caps team, which is pretty awesome at the moment - you&#39;ve got world-class players there, and it won&#39;t be easy to get into that team,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, he might have to wait to make his New Zealand debut as all cricket activities remain suspended across the world due to ongoing coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\r\n",
