New Zealand wait on Ryder injury

Ryder will miss the first one-dayer

New Zealand are hoping Jesse Ryder will recover from a shoulder injury in time for the second one-day international against Australia on 6 February.

The Black Caps have kept the 24-year-old batsman with the party after a scan showed no significant problem other than swelling in his left shoulder.

It is expected that the injury will take a week to settle down.

Otago batsman Craig Cumming, who arrives on Friday, will stay with the team at least until the Melbourne game.

Teenager Trent Boult is one of two newcomers in the New Zealand squad.

The 18-year-old bowler has put in some good performances with New Zealand A and the under-19 team.

All-rounder Brendon Diamanti has also been called into the squad, with Jacob Oram not yet recovered from injury.

Batsman Peter Fulton and bowler Iain O'Brien both return for the five one-dayers and a Twenty20 international.

Fulton is back in the fold after hitting 85 not out as Canterbury beat Wellington this week, while O'Brien is recalled for the first time since last February.
