Big sign of relieve for Kolkata Knight Riders as Sunil Narine has
been cleared by the IPL’s Bowling Action Committee. Narine was reported for bowling with a
Suspected Illegal Bowling Action during KKR’s match against Kings Eleven Punjab
at Abu Dhabi on October 10. Following the report placed by umpire Narine was
placed on the IPL Warning list.
KKR requested for an Official Assessment of Narine’s action from the
IPL Suspect Bowling Action Committee, submitting action footage in slow motion
with back and side angles. The Committee carefully reviewed all the deliveries
of action footage sent of Caribbean spinner with the naked eye and has come to
the conclusion that the elbow-bend appears to be within the range of
permissible limits.
The Committee also noted that Narine should reproduce the same
action going forward in the IPL 2020 matches as presented to the Committee in
the video footage.
