Embattled Narine aims to be ready for T20 World Cup
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Under-fire West Indies off-spinner Sunil Narine says he is targeting the Twenty20 World Cup in March for a return to international cricket.
The 27-year-old was banned from bowling in international cricket last November after the sport’s governing body, the ICC, ruled his action to be illegal, and has not played any competitive cricket since.
Speaking during the ongoing Regional Super50 semi-final here yesterday, Narine said he was hoping to undergo testing on his action shortly, so he could be cleared in time for the March 8 to April 3 event in India.
“Hopefully I can do the next test before the World Cup, so I’ll be able to make myself available for selection,” Narine said during a television interview.
