All-rounder Jesse Ryder has been dropped from the New Zealand team and fined after missing a team meeting and training session following a late-night drinking session.

 

The left-handed batsman will miss the fourth One-Day International against West Indies in Auckland on Saturday and his place in the team taken by Mathew Sinclair, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said in a statement.

 

Ryder missed New Zealand's tour of England last year after he punched a window in the door of a nightclub last February and needed surgery on his hand.
