Jesse Ryder has been "interacting with his family" as police charged a second man about the incident which left the New Zealand cricketer in an induced coma in hospital.
Ryder, the 28-year-old Wellington all-rounder, was "stable" in Christchurch Hospital on Friday having been admitted in the early hours of Thursday morning after suffering multiple injuries, including a fractured skull, in the attack.
Police investigating the incident on Friday confirmed two men – a 20-year-old and a 37-year-old – would appear in court on 4 April after being charged with assault.
Ryder remained in an induced coma on Friday, but had responded to his family and doctors, according to the New Zealand Cricket Players' Association chief executive Heath Mills.
Police have said Ryder was involved in an altercation with a group of people outside Aikmans bar in the Christchurch suburb of Merivale shortly after 12.30am local time, and was then assaulted by one of the group who followed him towards the car park of a nearby McDonald's.
After reviewing CCTV footage, police now believe only two people were involved in the initial incident.
According to Ryder's agent, Aaron Klee, Ryder had given doctors a "thumbs up". He added on stuff.co.nz: "They are assessing his coma at the moment and when the right time will be to bring him out of the coma."
Ryder, a controversial figure whose career has been plagued by off-field incidents, is on an indefinite break from international cricket and has not played for New Zealand since February last year. He has admitted in the past that alcohol has contributed to his off-field problems and it was confirmed that he was drinking with his Wellington team-mates in the bar before he was attacked.
Ryder has played 18 Tests and 39 one-day internationals for the Black Caps, his last appearance an ODI against South Africa.
