The New Zealand cricket coach Andy Moles is satisfied the necessary support is in place for Jesse Ryder while he plays in the Indian Premier League despite Ryder's public fall from the wagon.

Ryder who's had several alcohol related incidents in his short time with the Black Caps, started drinking again in South Africa after going 100 days without a drink.

Moles has just returned from South Africa having spent time with former Australia coach John Buchanan who's now coaching the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Moles believes the Bangalore Royal Challengers, where Ryder's based along with Ross Taylor have the matter in hand.
