Trinidad board backs Narine after BCCI bans his off-breaks
Port of Spain: The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) has expressed support for West Indies spinner Sunil Narine, who has been banned from bowling off-breaks in matches organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The TTCB has dispatched a letter to Narine pledging its support and offering assistance to the spinner whose ban also extends to Indian Premier League (IPL) matches. Narine could be suspended if he uses the off-break again in the ongoing IPL but is allowed to continue bowling his other deliveries, reports CMC.
“The TTCB are very supportive of Sunil Narine as he currently embarks on addressing the issues raised by the BCCI concerning his bowling action,” TTCB Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Suruj Ragoonath said.
“We are fully committed to assisting Sunil in whatever way he needs our support. We know it is a trying time and it’s difficult but we know Sunil has the necessary resolve to overcome this situation and continue to mesmerise batsmen around the world.”
Narine’s ban was imposed after the BCCI suspect bowling action committee reviewed evidence over the weekend. A member of Kolkata Knight Riders, Narine is now expected to undergo corrective work on his action again after which he can request for another assessment by the BCCI committee.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
