Bangladesh will appeal to ICC against the controversial umpiring in the World Cup quarterfinal match between Bangladesh and India in Melbourne.
Bangladesh Planning Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal, also International Cricket Council (ICC) president said on Thursday the ICC was not International Cricket Council anymore. "It has become Indian Cricket Council."
The ICC president was shown on Shomoy TV, a private television station in Bangladesh, saying: “If needed, I will resign from the ICC.”
He said: "One can be part of the ICC but not the Indian Cricket Council."
During the biggest game of Bangladesh cricket history, the quarter-final clash with India, the spirited men in green-blue again fell prey to umpiring injustice.
Rohit Sharma, the Indian opener was given not out 90's when he was caught at deep. Pakistani Umpire Aleem Dar ruled the delivery as no ball as he claimed that the ball went past the waist of the batsman.
However, the reply showed that the ball was under the waist when the batsman played the stroke.
The batsman went on to score 137.
Tigers faced another horrendous decision when Mahmudullah, the man who scored back to back centuries in previous matches, was given out caught in the deep.
However, the reply showed that the fielder [Shikhar Dhawan] touched the boundary board with his left foot.
TV umpire, Steve Davis gave the verdict in favor of fielder though.
India coasted into the World Cup semi-finals with a 109-run win over Bangladesh in a match that witnessed controversial decisions by the umpires.
The Tigers managed to score 193, chasing the big target of 303 runs losing all wickets in 45 overs.
