Troubled Ryder takes break

Updated March 09, 2012 16:02:24

New Zealand batsman Jesse Ryder will take an indefinite break from cricket to deal with personal issues after being dropped following a drinking binge.

Ryder and paceman Doug Bracewell were suspended from the New Zealand one-day team for one match after going drinking after a loss to South Africa in Napier last week and becoming involved in a row in a hotel.

The 27-year-old Ryder was also left out of the Test squad for this week's first Test against the Proteas, although selectors insisted the omission was due to concerns about form and fitness.
