Mr. Mustafa Kamal has quit as International Cricket Council president After World Cup snub and accused the body of acting "unlawfully"

Mr. Mustafa Kamal quits as President after Cricket World Cup

Mr. Kamal says it was his right as the head of the governing body to present the trophy, but ICC chairman Narayanaswami Srinivasan awarded it to the victorious Australian side.
Kamal said his decision came after he was denied the right to present the trophy to winners Australia after Sunday's World Cup final in Melbourne.

He said Bangladesh's 109-run loss appeared to have been "pre-arranged" and there was "no quality in the umpiring" - a claim denied by the ICC.

"The main reason for my resignation is that I can't work with those who can act unconstitutionally and unlawfully," Kamal said on Wednesday.

"These type of people should be away from cricket, otherwise cricket will be spoilt, cricket will not move forward.

He said,"I'm sure people will find out why I have resigned and they will unearth the truth - who are these people, what are they doing, and how they are running ICC."
The ICC president has become a largely honorary position since changes to the ICC constitution in 2014 handed control to the so-called 'Big Three' nations of England, India and Australia.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said it was “unfortunate and odd” that Mr. Kamal was not allowed to hand over the trophy. “It looked odd that he was barred from his rightful responsibility,” she was quoted as saying. by newspapers.
