Narine chooses franchise over country again - chairman - 08-30-2014
St. John’s, Antigua: Mystery off-spinner Sunil Narine has once again chosen the Twenty20 format over Test cricket after opting out of the two-Test series against Bangladesh at home.
Narine was a notable omission from the 13-man squad announced by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) on Friday for the first Test at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St. Vincent which starts on September 5.
The 26-year-old is probably focusing on representing Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the Champions League T20 which runs from September 13 to October 14 in India.
He will be joined by Jamaica all-rounder Andre Russell, who also opted out of the series to represent the Knight Riders.
Without identifying Narine or Russell, the WICB said that two players had chosen to play the CLT20 instead of being considered for selection. However, the board pointed out that the players’ decision would have no adverse effect on their future selection.
