CPL 2023: Sunil Narine Shown Red Card For Over-rate Breach, Kieron Pollard Left Unimpressed
Caribbean Premier League: Veteran off-spinner Sunil Narine became the first cricketer to be shown a red card for over-rate breach in a Caribbean Premier League (CPL) match for his team Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
The ongoing CPL 2023 saw the organisers introduce new penalties to tackle slow over rates, leading to games ending very late. It said, “if a fielding team starts their 18th over beyond the scheduled time, they would need to bring one extra fielder inside the thirty-yard circle.”
