Narine was banned in the last Champion League T20. KKR had earlier threatened to pull out on the Narine issue. Narine was the second-highest wicket-taker last season with 21 wickets in 16 matches and played a big role in KKR's second title win. Sunil Narine has been cleared to play IPL this season following a retest on his bowling action at Sri Ramachandra University.
"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 IPL T20.
KKR chief executive Venky Mysore expressed his joy on the outcome."It is a matter of genuine relief. We are very thankful to the BCCI president, secretary and other board officials for bringing the matter reach the appropriate conclusion," Mysore said
