Big blow for West Indies' World Cup hopes as Sunil Narine pulls out
​

West Indies' Cricket World Cup chances suffered a major blow with mystery spinner Sunil Narine withdrawing from the squad for the tournament in Australia and New Zealand.

According to a release from the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) yesterday, Narine "requires more time to be able to confidently bowl for a sustained period in international cricket with his new action".

While the Trinidadian mystery spinner has not been under any cloud of official sanction from the International Cricket Council, his action was deemed on two occasions during the Indian Champions League T20 tournament last September to be illegal.

It was ruled to be in violation of the 15-degree allowance of straightening of the bowling arm and he was banned from appearing for his franchise, the Kolkata Knight Riders, in the final.
