SUNIL NARINE was left fuming after becoming the first cricketer ever to be shown a red card.<\/strong><\/p>\n The off-spin bowler was penalised by the umpires in the Caribbean Premier League T20 on Sunday.<\/p>\n He was punished for the Trinbago Knight Riders' slow over rate in their six-wicket victory over the St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots.<\/p>\n Narine appeared perplexed after being shown the red card, whilst his captain Kieron Pollard branded the sanction "absolutely ridiculous".<\/p>\n Speaking after the match, Pollard fumed: "To be honest, it [further sanctions] will take away the hard work everyone has done.<\/p>\n "We are like the pawns and we are going to do what we are told.<\/p>\n "We are going to play as fast as we can. If you are penalised for 30-45 seconds in a tournament like this, it is absolutely ridiculous."<\/p>\n Narine fell foul of new rules introduced for this year's CPL, with teams cut down to 10 players when fielding in a bid to clamp down on slow over rates.<\/p>\n Red cards are shown if the fielding team are behind schedule at the start of the final over.<\/p>\n Teams are given 85 minutes to bowl all 20 of their overs during T20 matches.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST ONLINE CASINOS FOR 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n It is unclear whether red cards will be introduced to other forms of cricket in the future.<\/p>\n This summer's Ashes series saw both England and Australia penalised for slow over rates.<\/p>\n Each side was docked World Test Championship points during the series as a result of their infringements.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
