Maybe. We need more info before forming an opinion, though.
Did Narine inform the WICB that he will be playing in the IPL and will not be available for the Eng games? Will Narine play in the Aussie tests? Did Narine opt for the IPL because the WICB deem him not good enough for Tests? Are the WICB letting Narine play in the IPL so that he can work on his action? We don't know.

I think what Snoopster said is absolutely correct.
From what I remember Narine came to IPL prominence playing for TT. At that time he was not on the WI radar. His IPL success led to him continuing to get what I presume are lucrative IPL contracts.
Narine is always going to put IPL first and that's his choice and I have no problem with that. In fact I would go so far as to say that he would be "mad" not to put IPL before the WI given the offers made to him.
He has only played a few tests for the windies with not particularly good results.
IMO the recent back and forth and Narine withdrawing from the world cup was all done to somehow safeguard his IPL survival at least for this year.

Quote: I think a salient question has been asked, has he been given the opportunity to refuse playing for the Windies in any of the upcoming series? Instead of speculating, that is an important question.
Yes. Snoops and boquiesse might be completely correct, but we won't know until the WICB start regularly picking him for tests.
I feel Narine is underrated by people who dont watch him in the CPL/IPL. He is/was too amazing for the WI to just let him slip away without a fight.

Once he is completely cleared of his actions,i would then regard him the best.it does look like he is just being illegal,but let all these get sorted first.He,without doubt is the best spinner,provided he is cleared of all allegations.
