Narine claims he was mocked by Trinidad official for 'pelting'

West Indies offspinner Sunil Narine has written to the National League Representatives (NLR) asking for an independent probe into whether an email that mocked him for "pelting" was sent by Trinidad & Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) president Azim Bassarath.

Narine, who was banned from bowling in international cricket on November 29, had undergone biometric testing at Loughborough University after being reported for a suspect action during the third ODI of West Indies' tour of Sri Lanka earlier that month.

In his letter to the six-member NLR, a copy of which has been seen by ESPNcricinfo, Narine claimed that Bassarath's email had been sent on the very same day as his ban to various TTCB officials, including executive member Baldath Mahabir.

"If indeed the letter came from Mr Bassarath and I have to stress the 'if' right now, it seems that he must have long believed that my bowling action was illegal," Narine wrote.
