West Indian spinner Sunil Narine faced a new storm yesterday when his bowling action was again reported during the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) Twenty 20 tournament in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The 29-year-old, who is playing for Lahore Qalandars, was placed on the warning list but can continue to take part in the event.
“Narine has been reported for a suspected illegal bowling action during Wednesday’s PSL Twenty20 game between Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators at Sharjah,” said a Pakistan Cricket Board statement.
“The match officials’ report on Narine’s bowling action will be sent to Cricket West Indies (CWI) and he will have to go through the process that is followed by the CWI, for suspected illegal bowling actions,” added the statement.
Narine, who has played six Tests, 65 one-day and 48 Twenty20 internationals, was first reported for an illegal action during the Champions League in India in 2014.
The latest report may jeopardize his participation in the IPL starting early next month.
