Kolkata Knight Riders champion off-spinner Sunil Narine has been cleared by the Indian Premier League to continue bowling, in another farcical twist to the saga surround the West Indies player’s action.

The latest development comes following a third biomechanical test on Narine’s remodelled action, which found the player’s off-spinners to be legal. However, Narine has been warned that if he is reported again during the IPL season, he will be banned from bowling for the remainder of the campaign. “The Committee, however, has drawn Mr. Narine’s attention to paragraph 4.9 of the IPL Suspected Illegal Bowling Action Policy,” the IPL said in a statement.

“Any further report for a suspected illegal bowling action during the course of this season will automatically mean that Mr. Narine is banned from bowling for the rest of the season. “The player has therefore been cautioned to be careful not to again deviate from his remodelled action.”

... However, Narine has been warned that if he is reported again during the IPL season, he will be banned from bowling for the remainder of the campaign. ...

As long as he continues to repeat yesterday's 0-fer performance, he is safe.

My opinion.

I wonder if any team in India would give him a contract next season after these disruptions and issues with his action. So what is the news on the other Trinidad bowler, Cooper, his action is blatantly illegal.
