Cricketer Jesse Ryder has been fined and censured for verbally abusing Black Caps manager Dave Currie during the Champions Trophy tournament in South Africa.
Ryder went before a disciplinary hearing last month after being charged with misconduct during the tournament.
The matter arose in the semi final against Sri Lanka, when dismissed for 74, Ryder walked from the field and smashed a chair with his bat.
He was fined 15 percent of his match fee for that but abused Currie, who'd reprimanded him, which led to the hearing.
Ryder hasn't played since that game as he's recovering from a groin injury but a New Zealand Cricket spokesperson says as far as they're concerned the matter has been dealt with and CEO Justin Vaughan won't be making any comment about it.
In the past Vaughan hasn't been so reticent to comment about Ryder's long list of previous infractions - generally alcohol related - having gone so far as to say Ryder was on his last chance, when he damaged his hand when he broke a window at a Christchurch bar in February last year.
