WELLINGTON, March 2<\/span> (Reuters) – New Zealand batsman
\nJesse Ryder has retained his New Zealand Cricket contract
\ndespite his latest off-field indiscretions which have led to a
\none-match international ban.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Ryder and bowling all-rounder Doug Bracewell were both
\nsuspended for the final one-day match against South Africa in
\nAuckland on Saturday after they breached team protocols by
\ndrinking while recovering from injury following their loss in
\nthe second one-day match in Napier.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday, team manager Mike Sandle said Ryder, 27, who had
\nbeen on a final warning after a series of alcohol-related
\nincidents, had breached an internal team protocol but not the
\nplayers’ code of conduct.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are really disappointed as a team that they were out
\nthere drinking alcohol and compromising their position and their
\npreparation for the next game,” Sandle told reporters in
\nAuckland.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was internal team protocols that were breached and not a
\ncode of conduct (breach) and it has been dealt with in that
\nmanner.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“The previous breaches were code of conduct issues and this
\nis simply a team-enforced drinking protocol.”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Sandle said Ryder, Bracewell and leg-spinner Tarun Nethula
\nhad been in the bar for a “few hours” but the incident “had not
\nbeen an all nighter”.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

He said Ryder would not be considered for the first test
\nagainst South Africa in Dunedin, although that was because of
\nform issues and would be discussed when the test squad was named
\nlater on Friday.
