Ryder ruled out of New Zealand’s upcoming Windies tour – Cricket News Update
Troubled Kiwi batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, despite his consistent performances for the Pune Warriors in the current ongoing 5th season of the Indian Premier League, confirmed New Zealand
Cricket's chief executive David White.
“It is great that he is playing cricket again but he is a fair way from being considered for New Zealand,” White told
Fairfax NZ News. “He needs to prove to the selectors and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 Cricket his commitment to the game and that means on and off the field. He needs to do a lot of work on a lot of things like fitness, attitude and be exemplary off the park.”
Ryder’s time on the international stage has been interspersed with controversial incidents, which have marred what has otherwise seemed to be a promising career. In addition to frequent involvement in incidents where disciplinary warnings have been issued,
the 27-year-old has been fined, in 2008, 2009, and 2010, for “intoxicated and rowdy” behaviour.
The most recent incident occurred earlier this year during South Africa’s tour of New Zealand. Ryder and teammate http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Doug-Bracewell-c1394 both breached team protocol by consuming alcohol while recovering from injuries, and were dropped from the squad for the 3rd
and last ODI of the then ongoing series.
The left-hander was also excluded from the line-up for the subsequent Test series, and announced an indefinite break from cricket owing to personal reasons. He later accepted a $100,000 contract with the Pune Warriors, having announced his intent to make
his comeback to international cricket by playing during the IPL with a support structure, accompanied by his psychologist and manager.
The all-rounder has put forth consistent displays for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 as an opener, having contributed a total of 217 runs in the seven games played so far, including scores such as 86 and an unbeaten 73 against the Chennai Super Kings on April 14.
However, while the NZC has expressed support for Ryder as he seeks to recover from what has obviously been a difficult time for him, they will not be considering him for the upcoming tour of the Caribbean, which includes an ODI, T20 and Test series, scheduled
to begin on June 30.
