Najam Sethi to hold ICC presidency after Mustafa Kamal resigns - The Express Tribune

KARACHI / DHAKA: International Cricket Council President Mustafa Kamal, who has a Bangladeshi origin, has resigned from his post amid controversy over the body disallowing him to award the trophy to the winning captain,Express News reported.

Pakistan’s former cricket chief Najam Sethi will now hold the position of the ICC President.

“I resign right at this moment. I am no longer ICC president,” he told reporters in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka.

“The main reason for my resignation is that I can’t work with those who can act unconstitutionally and unlawfully.”

Kamal, who is a government minister in Bangladesh, had earlier threatened to quit over the umpiring of his country’s World Cup quarter-final defeat to India.

He said the outcome of the match appeared to have been “pre-arranged” and that there was “no quality in the umpiring”, earning a sharp rebuke from ICC chief executive David Richardson.

The ICC was not happy with his criticism over the umpires and precluded him from the right of presenting the 2015 World Cup winning trophy to the captain.

ICC chairman N Srinivasan handed over the trophy to the winning captain Australian Michael Clarke.

The SMALL countries DID not have any choice in the matter

If ICC had not approved ; India would have split the ICC and it would have become BANKRUPT

India provides EIGHTY percent of the revenue to ICC

The big three system should be removed from ICC. Every nation is equal in the cricketing world. Cricket should not be viewed in business point of view.

Germany and Brazil win most of football world cups , but they don't go creating Big 2 , the field is open to all 175 Nations of world to participate equally and under equal laws

Real Cricket

South Africa
Pakistan
Newzeland
England
Srilanka
West Indies
India
May be Bangladesh

Playing 5 ODI and 5 Test Series (30-40 days duration) and many friendlies on tour

That was the traditional model that attracted people to game

Equality in this WORLD is just a theoretical construct

Germany and Brazil win most of football world cups , but they don't go creating Big 2 , the field is open to all 175 Nations of world to participate equally and under equal laws

It is about who generates how much revenue

European countries generate most revenue in soccer due to their football leagues

Anyway Cricket and football are different

Ahhhh well apparently service to the nation has its benefits !

Yeah and look at cricket. Its been decades and number of teams is shrinking instead of growing The entire idea of these organizations was to make cricket popular and attract more and more nations to play it. Right now ICC turned it into profitable business for few countries.

Are you showing them another sport to ruin?

Which nation? your own or some other?

Hang Najam Sethi sob should have never voted to allow creation of big 3 mess

He appears to have more severe crimes (fighting alongside rebels, rigging in elections) as his credentials than this one.

Cricket's LACK of global popularity is NOT because of ICC

It is a cultural thing

Nobody has prevented China; USA; Europe; Japan to join ICC

Sarcasm thaaa !

I was merely commenting on how Sethi Sahib took over the PCB chairmanship to, as he put it - unless I'm mistaken, 'to serve the Nation' only to find himself now as a probable candidate for ICC presidency !

ICC is suppose to use funds in these nations to build stadiums, setup events and attract people instead of distributing the earnings it in big chunks to big three.
