Kolkata's Sunil Narine reported for suspect action, could face ban from Dream11 IPL 2020

Kolkata spinner Sunil Narine has been reported for a suspect action during his team's IPL clash against Punjab here and ar such instance could lead him to being barred from bowling in league.

32-year-old picked up two wickets in his four overs during match on Saturday, which Kolkata won by two runs defending 165.

" report was made by on-field umpires according to IPL's Suspected Illegal Bowling Action Policy. Mr Narine will be placed on Warning List and is permitted to continue to bowl in tournament," read a statement from IPL.

"Ar report will result in Mr. Narine being suspended from bowling in Dream11 IPL 2020 until cleared by BCCI Suspect Bowling Action Committee," it added.

In 2015, Narine served suspension from bowling in international cricket after his action was declared illegal by ICC. But he was cleared to bowl in all formats in 2016 after undergoing corrective measures.

"After action correction, he has lost much of his sting as a bowler. Who kws may be it was desperation that he chucked in last two games where KKR virtually won from where. If he is smart eugh, he won't bowl those deliveries," an IPL source told PTI on conditions of anymity.

His action was also reported during 2018 Pakistan Super League but was cleared eventually.

Narine sharpened his batting skills after being reported multiple times.

However, in last two IPL games, he has been very difficult to pick as Prabh Simran Singh and Nicholas Pooran found out at death. He finished with 2 for 28 winning a near impossible match for his team.
