Kolkata Knight Riders should now be relieved as their premier spinner Sunil Narine has been cleared by the IPL’s suspect bowling action committee.

Narine was reported for bowling with a suspect illegal action after the Knight Riders’ game versus Kings XI Punjab in Abu Dhabi back on October 10. His spell at the death was instrumental in KKR’s victory in that game.

But following the report, Narine was placed on the IPL warning list.

“KKR requested for an official assessment of Mr 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 Mr 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 committee also noted that Mr Narine should reproduce the same action going forward in the IPL 2020 matches as presented to the committee in the video footage,” said a KKR release on Sunday.

The off-spinner has now been removed from the IPL suspect action warning list.

Narine had been working with KKR’s spin bowling adviser Carl Crowe over the last few days to rework his action in order to return to playing at the earliest.
