ICC President Mustapha Kamal resigns

International Cricket Council (ICC) president Mustafa Kamal has announced his resignation from the post. According to reports, Kamal, who hails from Bangladesh, announced his resignation at a press conference in Dhaka, where he was openly critical about the way the ICC was functioning under the stewardship of N Srinivasan. A H M Mustafa Kamal maintained that the game's governing body had denied him the right to give the World Cup trophy at the post-match presentation ceremony of the World Cup final on Sunday, and therefore, he was resigning. The trophy was handed over by ICC chairman N Srinivasan, despite the ICC's amendment of its rules in January 2015 to mandate that ICC president is supposed to give trophies at global competitions. Kamal also warned of revealing information from within the governing body after he returns home.
