Narine reported for suspect bowling action

Author: Staff Report

SHARJAH: Lahore Qalandars off-spinner Sunil Narine has been once again reported for a suspected bowling action in the ongoing Pakistan Super League in the United Arab Emirates. The 29-year-old was reported by the match officials after the match between Lahore and Quetta Gladiators, where he claimed figures of two for 22 in his four overs. Narine has now been placed on the warning list, but was allowed to bowl in Lahore’s final match of the tournament where they played against Peshawar Zalmi on Friday.

This is not the first time that Narine has been reported for a suspected bowling action. The off-spinner was reported twice during the Champions League Twenty20 in 2014 and twice more the following year.

And the Trinidad and Tobago-born has had to work on remodeling his action on more than one occasion. He resumed bowling after getting clearance from the International Cricket Council (ICC). The match officials report on Narine’s bowling action will be sent to the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), where he will go through the process followed by the board in case of a suspected illegal bowling action.

Earlier, Gladiators coach Moin Khan had also accused the veteran spinner of ‘chucking’ after he guided Qalandars to a 17-run win on Wednesday. He has been retained by Kolkata Knight Riders for this year’s Indian Premier League beginning next month.
