The Pakistan Cricket Board has asserted that Narine had been placed on the warning list and can continue to play in the tournament and bowl. This might produce a threat to Narine’s inclusion in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. He will play for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL if everything goes well.

But as per ICC bowling action rules, if he is reported again by match officials, he shall remain suspended from bowling in the tournament. The current coach of the Quetta Gladiators team, Moin Khan, raised concerns over Sunil’s bowling action after the match and said he was surprised that no one had reported the latter for his action as yet.
