ICC chief Mustafa Kamal receives flak for 'controversial umpiring' claims

Reactions flowed in on Friday over ICC President Mustafa Kamal's 'controversial umpiring' claims following Bangladesh's 109-run defeat against India. Talking to mediapersons, BCCI Secretary Anurag Thakur said that Kamal should have raised the issue on the ICC platform during the meetings. Meanwhile, former cricketer Kirti Azad said there are human errors and added that the umpires also commit errors. The ICC chief, who reportedly threatened to quit over the umpiring in his country's quarterfinal defeat to India in the World Cup, said that the umpires' decisions seemed to have been 'pre-arranged'.The ICC chief Kamal was reportedly angry that Indian opener Rohit Sharma, who top-scored with 137, had not been given not out on 90 when he was caught at deep mid-wicket off the bowling of Rubel Hossain. India yesterday beat Bangladesh by 109 runs at a packed Melbourne Cricket Ground, with Rohit Sharma scoring a blistering 137 to prop the Men in Blue to a competitive total of 302-6. Umesh Yadav, with brilliant bowling figures of 4-31, was instrumental in restricting the opposition to a mere 193.
