PCB said in a statement:
Mr Narine has now been placed on the warning list and may continue to be selected to play and bowl for his team in the PSL.
As the PSL follows the ICC regulations on illegal bowling actions, if a player is reported [again] while on the warning list, the player shall be suspended from bowling for the remainder of the PSL tournament.
The match officials report on Mr Narine’s bowling action will be sent to the West Indies Cricket Board and he will have to go through the process that is followed by the West Indies Cricket Board, for suspected illegal bowling actions.
This is not the first time Narine’s action has been reported to the authorities. Previously, his action was reported twice in 2 Champions League T20 matches due to which he missed the final of the tournament.
His action was also put under the spotlight in ODI World Cup 2015, November 2015 (series against Sri Lanka) and 2016 World T20.
