The 26-year-old off-break bowler has been called back from India by the West Indies Cricket Board after his ‘illegal’ action was reported to organisers of Champions League.
‘The withdrawal from the upcoming tour will allow Narine the opportunity to have his action assessed and plan his return to cricket,’ a West Indies Cricket Board release stated.
Sources in Narine’s IPL and CLT20 team Kolkata Knight Riders said the spinner has left for the West Indies on Friday night.
‘He has left for the West Indies yesterday. He is stressed and wants to spend time at home with his family before getting down to working on corrective measures as far as his bowling action is concerned,’ a KKR source said.
WICB’s chairman of selection committee Clive Lloyd has expressed disappointment with Narine’s removal and the way the matter was dealt with by CLT20 organisers.
‘I am disappointed that our best bowler could suddenly be out of the tour. I am quite disappointed about the procedure that surrounded the ‘calling’ of Sunil in the Champions Trophy tournament. These things have the potential to disrupt the team’s preparation for a critical series against India but we will have to overcome this hurdle,’ Lloyd said.
