International Cricket Council (ICC) president A.H.M. Mustafa Kamal has
announced his resignation to protest the “denial” by the governing body
to let him give away the trophy to the champions in the World Cup and
also the “controversial” umpiring during the Bangladesh-India
quarterfinal match at Melbourne.
A.H.M. Mustafa Kamal made the announcement at a press conference in Dhaka,Bangladesh on Wednesday April 01,2015 soon after his return from Australia.
A.H.M. Mustafa Kamal, who is also Bangladesh’s Planning Minister, said his decision
was “final” and “not negotiable.” His resignation was in protest
against the “flagrant violation” of the ICC rules and constitution.
Citing the constitution, he said only the president had the right to
hand over the trophy to the winners of a match. “I was supposed to
present the trophy to the winners after the Melbourne final on March 29.
But I couldn’t do that.” He was not allowed to do so because an issue
was made out of some of his comments after the Bangladesh-India
quarterfinal match.
A.H.M. Mustafa Kamal, who is a former chief of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, said: “It
is not possible to work with those who will violate the constitution. I
want to let the people of the world know this.”
