ICC World Test Championship: New Zealand's veteran batter Devon Conway declined the opportunity for a central playing contract and instead opted for a casual playing contract, the New Zealand Cricket said on Thursday.

Conway, who was selected in the New Zealand's Test squad this week for the overseas contests against Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, has confirmed his availability for all international fixtures in the upcoming twelve months, bar the six white ball games against Sri Lanka in January, NZC said.

The 33-year-old, however, will be available for all nine of New Zealand's upcoming Test matches, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan in February, and the tri-series against Pakistan and South Africa ahead of it.
