India favourites for World T20, says Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar feels India have a “very good chance” to win the World T20 at home. “In T20, I think the team is well-balanced with senior members in the squad, youngsters and guys who been around for a while. They all as a package have performed really well. You see the way Jaspreet Bumrah bowled in Australia was superb and then it is nice to have someone like Ashish Nehra back, Yuvi back in the squad, Harbhajan is there. It’s a formidable combination. I would definitely want India to go all the way,” he said.

NARINE’S NEW ACTION WITHIN LIMITS

Officials monitoring the action of the West In dies off-spinner Sunil Narine say he is now bowling within limits stipulated by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Local match referee Michael Ragoonath and cricket administrator Jeffrey Guillen both said they saw nothing to be concerned about while watching Narine’s new action in local matches over the weekend, reports CMC. “Sunil played in both games and the umpires did not report anything to me.What I did was to video tape his bowling to have a look at it and when we sat down and viewed the footage, we found him to be well within the limits allowed for bending of the arm,“ said Ragoonath.
