In his resignation letter to the ICC Chief Executive David Richardson, Kamal said he was 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.

"Let the game of cricket under the leadership of ICC touch the hearts and minds of every cricket lover," he wrote in his letter.

However, while announcing his decision of stepping down as the ICC president to the media in Dhaka, Kamal had said, "The main reason for my resignation is that I can't work with those who act unconstitutionally and unlawfully."

"I am just sending my resignation to the ICC...I was not allowed to work in line with the ICC constitution and I cannot work with them beyond the ICC constitution," he told in a crowded press conference at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

"These type of people should be away from cricket, these kind of people are polluting the game. Otherwise cricket will be spoilt. It is my earnest request to the ICC to revisit these things and people should research why I have resigned," he added. (ICC Wanted Srinivasan to Present World Cup, not Mustafa Kamal)

Later, talking exclusively to NDTV in telephonic interview from Dhaka, Kamal slammed ICC chairman N. Srinivasan without taking his name but indicated him as a 'problematic' character.

"He's a problematic person, debatable character and isn't of sound mind. India should know better", said Kamal.
