Kamal launched an extraordinary attack on Srinivasan, calling him “rotten“ and “controversial“ and suggesting the ICC could stand for “Indian Cricket Council“.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) was left red-faced when its president Mustafa Kamal resigned claiming he was snubbed at the presentation ceremony after Sunday’s World Cup final in Melbourne.
Kamal, as the titular head of the governing body, was expected to present the trophy, but ICC chairman Srinivasan awarded it to the victorious Australian side at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Many believe it was a price Kamal paid for his outburst against a controversial umpiring decision that went against his country Bangladesh in their World Cup quarter-final defeat by India, the country Srinivasan hails from.
Kamal has been quoted in the local media flaying Srinivasan and the former Bangladesh Cricket Board chief, on his return from Australia, said “people with ugly mindset” had no business running the ICC. “I was supposed to present the trophy to the winners after the Melbourne final. But I couldn’t do that,” he told reporters at the Dhaka airport on his arrival from Australia.
Kamal launched an extraordinary attack on Srinivasan, calling him “rotten“ and “controversial“ and suggesting the ICC could stand for “Indian Cricket Council“. “I feel bad even to mention his name,“ he said. “If that man is in charge of cricket, how will cricket run?“ Kamal has been quoted in the local media flaying Srinivasan.
“I’m again requesting — these kind of people should be away from cricket, otherwise cricket will be spoiled, cricket will not move forward,” Kamal said. “My earnest request to the ICC is to revisit those things. I’m sure people will find out why I have resigned and they will unearth the truth,” he said.
