Former Black Cap Jesse Ryder, playing for Central Districts last summer, will represent New Zealand at September's Indoor Cricket World Cup.

It's been nearly four years since he last played for New Zealand, but cricketer Jesse Ryder is back in black.

The hard-hitting left-hand batsman and part-time medium pacer has been named in New Zealand's 12-man squad for the Indoor Cricket World Cup in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from September 16-23.

Ryder, who played domestic cricket for Central Districts last summer, will be hoping to lead New Zealand to their first title, having lost the last World Cup final to Australia in Wellington in 2014.

The 33-year-old Ryder played 48 ODIs, 18 tests and 22 T20Is for the Black Caps, but his international career was blighted by off-field incidents.
