BCCI Review Committee clears Sunil Narine

MUMBAI: The bowling review committee of the BCCI, comprising S. Venkatraghavan, Javagal Srinath and A.V. Jayaprakash examined the bowling action of Sunil Narine after he had undergone a biomechanical assessment at the ICC-accredited SRMC centre in Chennai.

The committee concluded that Narine, who had remodelled his bowling action, was within the ICC approved limits for all types of deliveries that were assessed and has hence recommended to the BCCI, that his name be removed from the warning list of bowlers with suspect action.

As a result, Narine is now allowed to bowl in all BCCI tournaments.

Narine is part of Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders team in the Indian Premier League (IPL), which kick-starts on 8 April.

“I am happy that we will witness Sunil Narine in action in the Pepsi IPL 2015, since he is now cleared by the BCCI committee. We look forward to the opening match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians on 8 April in Kolkata, which promises to provide an exciting start to the tournament,” said BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur.
