Ryder dropped

Troubled batsman Jesse Ryder has been dropped from New Zealand’s squad for the second test against India as New Zealand Cricket probes his involvement in late night drinking. Ryder and fast bowler Doug Bracewell, who were both members of the test squad, were reported to have been drinking at Auckland bars in the early hours of Thursday on the first day of the test. Bracewell arrived at Eden Park for the opening day with a broken bone in his foot and the cause of the injury occurred has yet to be explained. Thursday’s alleged late night infraction comes two years after Ryder and Bracewell were sanctioned after becoming involved in an altercation with bar patrons in Napier after a one-day international against South Africa. Ryder made himself unavailable for New Zealand for the next 22 month as he tackled personal and fitness issues, including a continuing battle with alcohol.
