New Zealand opener Devon Conway will miss the remainder of the one-day international series against India because of a concussion sustained in a collision with teammate Matt Henry earlier this week.

• Fast bowler Henry has been cleared of concussion after the training incident and will be available for the second ODI in Wellington on Saturday

• Lefthanded top-order batter Nick Kelly has been called up from the New Zealand "A" squad early to replace Conway in the squad

• India won the rain-disrupted first ODI in Auckland on Wednesday by five wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series

• New Zealand will be hoping that batting mainstay Conway makes a full recovery before the first of two tests against India starts in Wellington on Nov 19
