indianexpress.comI don’t currently have live updates loaded here. Here’s a quick summary of Sunil Narine’s recent status based on publicly reported information up to 2025, with caveats about ongoing developments:
-
Summary of notable events
- Narine has historically faced scrutiny over his bowling action, including suspensions and periodical clarifications of legality. For example, he was suspended from international cricket in 2015 for an illegal action, and has since undergone assessments with IPL and other leagues to confirm action legality [cite ].
- In domestic T20 competitions and the IPL, Narine has been cleared or cleared conditionally at various times after testing or revisions to his action, allowing him to bowl in those events again [cite ].
- News coverage in 2018 and 2019 noted his withdrawal from certain tours due to action concerns, followed by re-inclusion after review in some formats or leagues [cite ].
- Representative profiles and ongoing coverage (Wikipedia, NDTV, Moneycontrol, and others) show Narine as an active cricketer with periodic action-related updates within leagues like the IPL and county/championship schedules [cite ][cite ][cite ].
