Jesse Ryder in hot water again

1:31 pm on 7 August 2010

The troubled New Zealand cricketer Jesse Ryder is in hot water again, admitting to a serious misconduct charge brought against him by New Zealand Cricket.

The charge stemmed from an incident when Ryder was participating in an indoor cricket competition.

A complaint arose at the hotel where Ryder's team were staying which included noise disruption by the team.

GM of New Zealand Cricket Geoff Allott says to his credit, Ryder brought the incident to the attention of the governing body and admitted his role in it... however they are disappointed as the player was making some positive progress in recent times.

Ryder, who has a list of alcohol-fueled problems, has been fined by New Zealand Cricket.

Ryder isn't on the Black Caps current tour of Sri Lanka because of injury but is expected to be available for selection for the tour of Bangladesh next month.
