Jesse Ryder has withdrawn from the New Zealand A squad to tour the United Arab Emirates, citing personal reasons.
New Zealand Cricket’s GM National Selection Bruce Edgar says Ryder made the decision after meeting with Otago officials in Dunedin this morning.
“NZC respects Jesse’s decision and is currently considering options for a replacement,” said Edgar.
The New Zealand A squad departs Auckland for the UAE on Wednesday evening. The team will play four List A 50-over games in Dubai: one each against the UAE and Afghanistan, and two against Ireland.
