ICC Clears Sunil Narine’s bowling action ahead of IPL 2016

ICC Clears Sunil Narine’s bowling action ahead of IPL 2016

By: ICC Press Release

Sunil Narine

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that following remedial work and retest, the bowling action of the West Indies’ Sunil Narine has been found to be legal.

It means that the West Indies mystery off-spinner can now resume bowling in both international and domestic cricket events worldwide, including the Indian Premier League.

At the retest, it was revealed that the amount of elbow extensions in Narine’s bowling action for all his deliveries that were tested was within the tolerance permitted under the ICC.

However, the umpires are free to report Narine in the future if they believe he uses a suspect action. The retest was performed at the Sri Ramachandra University in Chennai on 28 March.

Narine was reported during the third One Day International against Sri Lanka on 7 November 2015 in Pallekele and subsequently banned.
