International Cricket Council (ICC) president AHM Mustafa Kamal may resign amid controversy triggered by Bangladesh's loss against India due dubious decisions from the umpires.
Immediately after the match, fans took to the streets in Dhaka in protest and social media was flooded by outrage, particularly the umpire Aleem Dar's decision to call a no ball when Rohit Sharma was caught off Bangladeshi pacer Rubel Hossain. Rohit ended up scoring a century that ultimately gave India the foothold for the win.
The ICC president was shown on Shomoy TV, a private television station in Bangladesh, saying: “If needed, I will resign from the ICC.”
The spirited men in green and red fell prey to umpiring injustice during the biggest game of Bangladesh cricket history.
Rohit Sharma, the Indian opener was given not out in his 90's when he was caught deep in the field. Pakistani Umpire Aleem Dar was quick to rule out the delivery as no ball claiming that the ball was above the batsman’s waist. The swift decision surprised commentators Shane Warne and Harsha Bhogle who agreed that generally the umpires took a little more time on that decision.
However, the replay confirmed that the ball was below the waist when the batsman played the stroke eventually going on to score a match winning 137.
Tigers faced another horrendous decision when Mahmudullah, the man who had scored back to back centuries in previous matches, was given out caught on the boundary.
Replays showed that the fielder [Shikhar Dhawan] had touched the boundary board with his left foot just before throwing the ball up and stepping back into the field to catch it in a show to make it appear that the catch was good.
TV umpire, Steve Davis gave the verdict in favour of fielder though.
India sailed through to the World Cup semi-finals with an emphatic 109-run win over Bangladesh in a match that witnessed controversial decisions by the umpires.
The Tigers managed to score 193, chasing 302 runs losing all wickets in 45 overs.
