Photo: Getty ImagesNew Zealand Cricket and Westpac Stadium have apologised for removing a banner promoting sexual consent during last night's Twenty20 international clash between the Black Caps and India. The banner, which read "No means no", was directed at Black Caps all-rounder Scott Kuggeleijn, who was found not guilty of rape in a trial in 2017. The woman with the banner told Stuff that security tried to confiscate the sign, but received an apology from the stadium today. Kuggeleijn contributed 20 runs from seven balls in the Black Caps' record 80-run win, but struggled with the ball, going for 34 from his two overs.
