The International Cricket Council (ICC) has accepted the resignation of its President Mustafa Kamal, who quit the position after being denied the honour of presenting the World Cup winners' trophy. The ICC today confirmed that Mr Mustafa Kamal has tendered his resignation as the ICC President with immediate effect. In his resignation letter to the ICC Chief Executive David Richardson, Kamal said he is stepping down on personal grounds and offered his apologies to all associated with the ICC, while adding that he had no complaints to make against anyone. The ICC Board will now consider the vacant position of the ICC President at its forthcoming meeting in Dubai on 15th and 16th of this month. Kamal was livid at not being given the opportunity to hand out the World Cup trophy to champions Australia and had left the Melbourne Cricket Ground even before the final finished. Instead, Srinivasan handed over the trophy to Australian skipper Michael Clarke. Kamal was reportedly denied the honours after he blamed poor umpiring for Bangladesh's comprehensive loss to India in the quarterfinals.
