Fans in the Caribbean will be able to see mys­tery spin­ner Sunil Nar­ine twirl his mag­ic against New Zealand in the cur­rent Test se­ries as a com­pro­mise has been struck be­tween the Trinida­di­an and the West In­dies Crick­et Board (WICB).Nar­ine stayed on to play in the In­di­an Pre­mier League (IPL) fi­nals for even­tu­al 2014 win­ners Kolkata Knight Rid­ers and missed the dead­line to at­tend a camp in prepa­ra­tion for the cur­rent se­ries.

The West In­dies op­er­a­tions man­age­ment team had set June 1 as the dead­line for all play­ers to show and Nar­ine, as a re­sult of miss­ing this dead­line, was ruled in­el­i­gi­ble to play in the cur­rent three-Test se­ries.How­ev­er, T&T Guardian un­der­stands that ne­go­ti­a­tions will be on­go­ing be­tween the play­er and the board and it has been agreed that he will sit out the first two match­es and will be avail­able for se­lec­tion for the third and fi­nal Test in Bar­ba­dos which starts on June 26.

No clear rea­son has been giv­en for the de­ci­sion but it is un­der­stood that the op­er­a­tions man­age­ment team com­mu­ni­cat­ed to the WICB that they had a change of heart.The de­ci­sion by the man­age­ment com­mit­tee which was rat­i­fied by the WICB led to de­bates around the re­gion with most point­ing to the fact that al­though there was this new pol­i­cy in place called 'Coun­try First', the pun­ish­ment was too harsh.
