The English players were driven to the Kia Oval in the area due to the heavy traffic in the West India for the third and last Metro Bank One-Day International.
The coach of the Windies team reached the ground on Tuesday afternoon, 10 minutes after the planned litter, only at 12:40 p.m. after stopping three and a half miles away overnight in a hotel.

Delays were caused by problems, including a few broken buses, traffic lights and road traffic over one of the bridges over the Thames, which also kept the coach of England on the way from her hotel to the floor to five miles.
But instead of waiting, the players decided to use England to use rental bikes to outperform the traffic to seal a 3-0 series Clean Sweep after the victories in Edgbaston and Cardiff last week.
After the throw took place at 1:10 p.m., the English captain Harry Brook said: “We were on the bus for a while, then we all decided to get out and get a few Lime bicycles.”

The game was finally at 1:30 p.m., half an hour after the dead rubber started.
This is not the first time that England arrives on a floor in an unconventional way.
Some English cricket players, including Brook and Brydon Carse, came to the Hagley Oval for the first test against New Zealand in November last year.
