West Indies off-spinner Sunil Narine has been cleared to resume his career following a suspension for a suspect bowling action ruled him out of his team's World Twenty20 title-winning campaign.
The 27-year-old was suspended in November last year after being cited during a one-day match in Sri Lanka having also been reported for a similar problem at the 2014 Champions League T20 tournament.
Narine can now play in the Indian Premier League for Kolkata Knight Riders, with the two-time champions' opening game in the competition coming against Delhi Daredevils on Sunday, live on Sky Sports 3.

The ICC tweeted on Thursday: "Sunil Narine's action found to be legal, can now resume bowling in international cricket and domestic cricket events worldwide."
Narine has played six Tests in his stop-start career, taking 21 wickets. He also has 77 wickets in 55 ODIs and 40 victims in Twenty20.
He was forced to drop out of the original 15-man West Indies squad for the World Twenty20 in India, which the West Indies won in dramatic fashion on Sunday with a four-wicket win in the final against England.
