CHENNAI: International Cricket Council (ICC) has cleared West Indies off-spinner Sunil Narine’s bowling action ahead of Indian Premier League Season 9. He will be available to play for Kolkata Knight Riders in this edition.
Narine has not bowled since November, having been reported while on international duty, but all his deliveries with a remodelled action have been found to be legal.
Narine has been a key player for his IPL franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders, and their new coach, Jacques Kallis, had earlier admitted he did not know if the West Indian would be available. Narine has taken 74 wickets in four IPL seasons and helped Knight Riders to the title in 2012 and 2014.
He was suspended in November, after being reported during an ODI in Sri Lanka, and his last appearance came at the Bangladesh Premier League. The ICC said that Narine’s retest took place on March 28 in Chennai. He is now free once again to play in international and domestic competitions.
