ICC president Mustafa Kamal resigned from his post on Wednesday after he was not considered for the post match presentation of the ICC Cricket World Cup final.

“The main reason for my resignation is that I can’t work with those who can act unconstitutionally and unlawfully,” he told the press in Dhaka.

The news came days after he made his displeasure public where he questioned ICC chairman N Srinivasan handing over the trophy to the winning captain at the MCG.

“I was supposed to give the trophy. It is my constitutional right. But very unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed to do so. My rights were dishonoured. After I go back home, I will let the whole world know what’s happening in ICC. I will let the whole world know about those guys who are doing these mischievous things,” Kamal told Bangladeshi channels a couple of days ago.

Previously, he slammed the match officials after the 2nd quarter-final betwen India and Bangladesh which became a bone of contention between the two countries after India defeated them to reach the semifinal.
