Cricketer Jesse Ryder has come out of a medically-induced coma, three days after he was attacked outside a bar in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Jesse Ryder, 28, suffered serious injuries after being attacked twice in quick succession as he left the bar.

The cricketer was still in intensive care but he was no longer on a ventilator and had been talking, his manager Aaron Klee said.

Two people have been charged with assault and are due in court next week.

Jesse Ryder had been in Christchurch with team-mates after playing for Wellington Firebirds in a domestic one-day competition. He had been due to fly to Delhi to begin a $300,000 contract in the Indian Premier League.

His manager told a news conference that “Jesse Ryder is awake and talking to us” but added that while they were “absolutely thrilled with the progress”, he had suffered very bad concussion and damage to his lungs.

“We’re all pretty exhausted, it’s been a pretty difficult few days, but having some wins over the last 24 hours has been a huge relief.”

Jesse Ryder stopped playing international cricket for New Zealand in February last year after a series of alcohol-related problems. He had also had disciplinary lapses.

Police said while Jesse Ryder had been drinking before the assault on Thursday morning, alcohol was not a factor.

The suspects charged with assaulting Jesse Ryder, aged 20 and 37, are due to appear before Christchurch District Court on April 4.

The cricketer is believed to have suffered serious head injuries after the assaults and is now in intensive care.

At least 10 or more people are thought to have witnessed the incident, a police spokesman said earlier.

Jesse Ryder, 28, has a history of disciplinary lapses and alcohol-related incidents. Although he had been drinking before the assault on Thursday morning, police said alcohol was not a factor.

He was in Christchurch playing for Wellington against Canterbury in the domestic one-day competition.

Jesse Ryder had been due to fly to Delhi to start his $300,000 contract in the Indian Premier League.

The cricketer had chosen not to play for New Zealand since the Napier ODI against South Africa in February 2012 after he was disciplined by team management for being out drinking while carrying an injury.

Police believe two or three men attacked Jesse Ryder outside the bar, before following him to a car park and launching a second, more serious assault on the cricketer.

A witness told New Zealand’s One News that she could hear the impact of the blows from inside the bar.

“As soon as the fight started there were probably four or five guys that ran out to pull them off him and hold them back while he stumbled off over the road,” the witness said.

Jesse Ryder’s friends and domestic and international cricketers have sent messages of support via social media.

New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said he was “extremely concerned” for Jesse Ryder.

Meanwhile, the head of the country’s Cricket Players’ Association, Heath Mills, has flown to Christchurch to be with Jesse Ryder.

“The cricket community’s very shocked at what’s happened to Jesse. It’s a sad day for us,” he said.

The attack has also been condemned by New Zealand’s PM John Key, who expressed his shock over the “sinister” and “vicious” incident.

He has chosen not to play for New Zealand since the Napier ODI against South Africa in February 2012 after he was disciplined by team management for breaking team protocol by being out drinking while carrying an injury.

“It appears that Jesse has been the victim of a serious assault and suffered head injuries as a result,” Detective Senior Sergeant Brian Archer told a nationally televised news conference.

“Jesse was taken to hospital where he remains in intensive care in a critical condition in an induced coma after suffering multiple injuries.”

Brian Archer said that “two or three men” carried out the attacks on the cricketer – but he did not think that alcohol was a “contributing factor”.

A witness to the assaults told New Zealand’s One News that she could hear the impact of the blows from inside the bar.

“As soon as the fight started there were probably four or five guys that ran out to pull them off him and hold them back while he stumbled off over the road,” the witness said.

Brian Archer said Jesse Ryder was attacked again by one of the men after he moved across the road.

He said that no weapon was believed to have been used and that so far no motive had been established for the attack.

“At this stage we have not identified the people involved in the incident but are following positive lines of inquiry,” Brian Archer added.

“We are asking for witnesses to come forward and to speak to us about it.”

Jesse Ryder’s friends and domestic and international cricketers have been sending messages of support via social media.
