KARACHI:
International Cricket Council (ICC) president Mustafa Kamal has said the game's governing body denied him his right to give the winner's trophy at the post-match presentation ceremony of the World Cup final here on Sunday, according to NDTV.
The winner's trophy was handed over by ICC chairman N Srinivasan of India which led to Kamal threatening the board for revealing the happenings taking place at cricket's world governing body.
"I was supposed to give the trophy," said Kamal. "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 questioned the integrity of the umpires after they were involved in controversial decisions saying that the ICC should investigate the matter asking whether some decisions were deliberate or not.
A day later, the ICC's chief executive, Dave Richardson, termed Kamal's criticism unfortunate, but Kamal has denied reports that the snub was a reaction to his criticism of the umpires.
