"Kolkata Knight Riders player Sunil Narine will not be eligible to bowl in the Oppo CLT20 final following a report on his suspected illegal bowling action," a media advisory from CLT20 said.
"Mr Narine was reported for a second time in as many matches over a suspected illegal bowling action during this evening's Oppo Champions League Twenty20 semi-final game against the Hobart Hurricanes at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad," it said.
"Under the CLT20 Suspected Illegal Bowling Action policy, if a player receives a report while on the warning list, the player shall be suspended from bowling for the remainder of the tournament and from bowling in any matches organised by the BCCI until such date as he is cleared.
"Mr Narine is suspended from bowling, but may continue to be selected to play in matches, however he will not be entitled to bowl," the advisory said.
Narine was first reported on September 29 during the Kolkata Knight Riders match played against the Dolphins on the same ground here by on-field umpires Anil Chaudhary and Chettithody Shamshuddin along with third umpire Kumar Dharamsena.
The West Indian took 1/24 from his quota of four overs in KKR's semifinal win over Hobart Hurricanes by seven wickets here today to book a berth in the final to be played in Bangalore on Saturday.
