Narine asks for probe into actions of TTCB President

West Indies mystery spinner Sunil Narine has written to the National League Representatives (NLR) in Trinidad asking for an independent probe into whether an e-mail that mocked him for "pelting" was sent by Trinidad & Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) President Azim Bassarath. 

Narine, who was banned from bowling in international cricket on November 29, had undergone biometric testing at Loughborough University after being reported for a suspect action during the third One Day International of West Indies' tour of Sri Lanka earlier that month. 

In his letter to the six-member NLR, Narine claimed that Bassarath's email had been sent on the very same day as his ban to various TTCB officials, including executive member Baldath Mahabir.

Narine noted in the letter "if indeed the letter came from Mr Bassarath and I have to stress the 'if' right now, it seems that he must have long believed that my bowling action was illegal".

But in a TTCB media release sent this week Bassarath strongly denied he had sent the alleged e-mail. Bassarath also stressed that he would take legal recourse if the e-mail was attributed to his name in the local media.
