Kolkata Knight Riders spinner Sunil Narine has been cleared to play IPL this season following a retest on his bowling action at Sri Ramachandra University.
The BCCI's sub-committee dealing with such matters gave the West Indian's bowling action the go-ahead at the ICC-accredited centre in Chennai where former India pacer Javagal Srinath oversaw the whole proceedings on Thursday.
"I am happy that we will witness Sunil Narine in
action in the Pepsi IPL 8 , since he is now cleared by the BCCI committee. We look forward to the opening match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians on the 8th of April in Kolkata, which promises to provide an exciting start to the tournament," BCCI honorary secretary Anurag Thakur told iplt20.com.
KKR had earlier threatened to pull out on the Narine issue. The mystery spinner couldn't play the Champions League final last year for the same reason and was sorely missed in KKR's defeat by Chennai Super Kings.
