The International Cricket Council today confirmed that an independent assessment has found the bowling action of West Indies Sunil Narine to be illegal and, as such, the off-spinner has been suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect.
In accordance with Article 6.1 of the regulations, Narine’s international suspension will also be recognised and enforced by all National Cricket Federations within domestic cricket events played in their own jurisdiction, save that, with the consent of the West Indies Cricket Board, Narine may be able to play in domestic cricket events played under the auspices of the West Indies Cricket Board.
The assessment revealed that all variations of his deliveries exceeded the 15 degrees level of tolerance permitted under the regulations.
Narine was reported after the third ODI match against Sri Lanka in Pallekele in November.
The player can apply for a re-assessment after modifying his bowling action in accordance with clause 2.4 of the Regulations for the Review of Bowlers Reported with Suspected Illegal Bowling Actions.
The test was performed on Tuesday, 17 November at the ICC’s accredited testing centre in Loughborough University.
bs
stuupessss… like reallly????
That’s like the end of his career. When or if he returns, he may just be the most non threatening bowler in test cricket!!!
they taking us down one player after the next
Who are they? Is the players themselves that doing that. West Indies have no more pride. and the wrong attitude.They just want to be paid and laid.
Just go back and check how many West Indies bowlers are cited for illegal action. Any time we have a good bowler, the opponents complain and our bowlers get disqualified. Can I get a cricket enthusiast to give us the data on all the bowlers on the West Indies side who have had complaints lodged against them?
You are so true. As if is only West Indies bowlers i am hearing bowling illegally. A Magway sa.
They did the same thing to Shane. hmm wondering who is next
