Chennai Super Kings batter Devon Conway has been ruled out of the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 due to an injury.

In an official statement the IPL announced on Thursday that Conway's place with CSK has been filled up England's Richard Gleeson.


Conway,, who represented CSK during the last two IPL seasons, played 23 matches and scored 924 runs, which included nine half-centuries and a highest score of 92 not out.

He had been expected to miss the first half of the IPL due to surgery on his injured thumb. The left-handed batter was a key architect of CSK's title success last year, scoring 672 runs in 15 innings and averaging an incredible 51.69.
