Sunil Narine has now in a big dilemma whether to play IPL final or to attend a camp for selection of West Indies team to battle with New Zealand.
If the spinner remains in India to play for Kolkata Knight Riders in
Sunday's IPL 2014 final, as he wants to, he will miss the West Indies
Cricket Board's June 1 deadline for joining the selection camp
for the home series against New Zealand, disqualifying him from
selection.
Speaking by telephone from his Kolkata office yesterday, Knight Riders'
chief executive officer Venky Mysore spoke on Narine's behalf.
"This is in no way an act of defiance by Sunil," Mysore said. "He is
seeking the board's flexibility for a couple of days leeway so that he
can turn out for Knight Riders on Sunday.
"He has told us that he came to do a job and wants to see it through to
its conclusion. He also wants to represent West Indies against New
Zealand. You can understand the quandary that he is in."
Without Narine, West Indies would be short of a key bowler who has made
his reputation principally in the shorter versions of the game (he is
ranked No.3 in ODIs and No.2 in T20 Internationals by the ICC), but who
has 18 of his 23 Test wickets against New Zealand, in two matches in the
Caribbean in 2012 and one in New Zealand last December.
