    Former Black Caps coach Mike Hesson believes the openers are a point of contention in New Zealand's ODI side heading into the Champions Trophy this week

    Hesson says Conway may have sealed his place at the top of the order.



    The Black Caps open the tournament against hosts Pakistan on Wednesday.
