IPL season 8 is about to start and Kolkata Knight Riders officials have made it known that ICC cleared Sunil Narine and BCCI is yet targeting the spinner.



KKR officials also said that Sunil shouldn't be asked to undergo another test for his bowing action.

During the 2014 Champions League Twenty20, the Caribbean bowler was banned for his actions and he could not play in the final against the fellow IPL side CSK, resulting in KKR losing by 8 wickets.

Since then Narine has gone back to the nets and reworked his action, which led him to being cleared by ICC after bio-mechanical test. But BCCI refused to accept the reports of the ICC and has insisted that Sunil Narine undergoes another round of testing at the Sri Ramachandra University, Chennai.

This action of the BCCI has lead to the KKR officials thinking about taking legal action against BCCI board.
