Dubai: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bowling all-rounder Sunil Narine had been reported for suspect bowling action after the match against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at Abu Dhabi on Saturday (October 10) in the Indian Premier League. However, he has been cleared by the IPL’s suspect bowling action committee.

A statement read, “Following the report, Narine was placed on the IPL warning list. KKR requested for an official sssessment of Narine’s action from the IPL suspect bowling action committee, submitting action footage in slow motion with back and side angles.” 

“The committee carefully reviewed all the deliveries of action footage sent of Narine with the naked eye and has come to the conclusion that the elbow-bend appears to be within the range of permissible limits,” the statement further added.

“The committee also noted that Narine should reproduce the same action going forward in the IPL 2020 matches as presented to the committee in the video footage.” Narine has now been removed from the IPL suspect action warning list.

Earlier on the match of Sunday (October 18), KKR returned to winning ways after beating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a Super Over at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
