Jesse Ryder has promised to repay the faith of the New Zealand selectors after he was chosen in the Test squad to tour Bangladesh. Ryder is likely to make his Test debut on the trip after playing his initial ODIs in February, the same month that he severely injured his right hand when he punched a bar-room window in a late-night incident in Christchurch.

The long recovery meant he was unavailable for New Zealand's tour of England and Ryder instead had to work his way back into contention via an Emerging Players Tournament in Australia. The selectors were impressed with his efforts as he captained the New Zealand side to the title, and Ryder said he was "stoked" to be back in the senior squad.

"There definitely can be no more stuff-ups otherwise I'm gone," Ryder told the Dominion Post. "I'm stoked they have shown faith in me so it is good to be back in there and hopefully I can establish my spot now."

Ryder said there would be no chance he would touch alcohol during the Bangladesh tour. "There will be nothing, I won't be [drinking]," he said. "I'll stick to what has been sorted for me by my support crew. Just one day at a time."

Ryder is likely to slot straight into the Test top order with James Marshall and Peter Fulton both overlooked for Bangladesh, having made the trip to England. Ryder was originally named in the ODI squad for England but his hand needed more recovery time, although he is certain it is now right.

"The hand was fine through that [the Emerging Players Tournament], I didn't have any problems," he said. "I'm not feeling anything at all, apart from the odd bit of stiffness. There were no problems fielding in Australia."
