New Zealand Cricket has confirmed that Test squad members Doug Bracewell and Jesse Ryder were out drinking the night before the first Test against India, and they're investigating.
Black Caps manager Mike Sandle says he has spoken to both players and they confirmed they were out at a bar until the early hours of Thursday morning.
Sandle says he's disappointed and their behaviour is totally unacceptable the night before a match.
NZC will have an update in the next few days, and the organisation won't be saying anything more on the issue until the investigation is completed.
Both players missed out on the playing XI for the Test and have returned to their Plunket Shield sides.
