adminDHAKA. — Mustafa Kamal has resigned as president of the International Cricket Council (ICC), the Bangladeshi administrator announced yesterday. Kamal said he quit after being denied the right as ICC chief to award the World Cup trophy to winners Australia in Sunday’s final in Melbourne.
ICC Chairman Narayanaswami Srinivasan handed over the trophy to the victorious hosts, prompting Kamal to launch a scathing attack on the Indian and the ICC top brass whom he termed “ugly people”.
“I’m again requesting – these type of people should be away from cricket, otherwise cricket will be spoilt, cricket will not move forward,” Kamal told reporters in Dhaka.
“My earnest request to ICC is to revisit those things. I’m sure people will find out why I have resigned and they will unearth the truth.” — Reuters.
