The Black Caps' preparation for their Cricket World Cup clash against Bangladesh was today delayed – ever so slightly – because of Donald Trump.
With several roads in central London closed due to the US President's state visit to the United Kingdom, including those near the Black Caps' hotel, the Black Caps' team bus was forced to take a detour to get to The Oval for their final training ahead of their match against Bangladesh tomorrow.
With London traffic also disrupted by protests about Trump, the Black Caps' pre-match press conference, which was scheduled for 1.30pm, was delayed by half an hour as the side slowly made their way to the ground.

It wasn't the only noticeable Trump influence this week for the Black Caps, with his Marine One helicopter noticeably flying overhead at yesterday's training following his meeting with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace.
