OPINION: New Zealand Cricket needs to pull down the barricade around Scott Kuggeleijn over his rape trials and lead an example on how sport can change attitudes towards women. ANDREW CORNAGA/PHOTOSPORT Scott Kuggeleijn played for the Black Caps against India at Westpac Stadium on Waitangi Day. The banner was directed at Kuggeleijn, who was found not guilty of rape in 2017 and is now in the Black Caps' ODI and T20 teams. Wearing the Black Caps colours, Kuggeleijn is now in a position to influence young Kiwi males on almost any topic. HAGEN HOPKINS/GETTY IMAGES New Zealand Cricket has put up a barricade around Scott Kuggeleijn, missing an opportunity to influence others.
