New Zealand batsman Jesse Ryder has been released from hospital following an attack which left him in an induced come in Christchurch.
The 28-year-old suffered a fractured skull from an assault in the early hours of Thursday morning last week outside of a bar in the city.
It is understood that Ryder has returned to his home in Wellington following less than a week under medical care, according to Sky Sports News.
The cricketer recently told police that he has no recollection of the incident.
