Profile
Such was the impact of his performance in a trial match where he bagged all ten wickets that Sunil Narine was immediately called up to the Trinidad & Tobago squad in 2009.
The right-arm off break bowler represented the West Indies Under-19 side and made his first-class debut against Leeward Islands. Despite not impressing much in his maiden match, he was included in the side for the inaugural Champions League T20 that was held in India. He then went on to make his ODI debut in 2011 against India.
Narine’s high-arm bowling action is deceptive for the batsmen, who often fail to read him and are trapped sooner than they realize. The mystery of his bowling attracted the Kolkata, who bought him for the fifth edition of the IPL in 2012. He did extremely well in the tournament, finishing with 24 wickets in the end, only second to the season’s leading wicket-taker Morne Morkel. The IPL was a huge learning experience for the youngster and it also helped him fetch his Test debut, as he was quickly called up for West Indies’ third Test against England, replacing injured Kemar Roach.
