Kamal resigned from his position after a fallout with the ICC in the wake of the India-Bangladesh quarter-final match at the World Cup, when he had strongly criticised the umpires - even questioning their motives - over a dubious no-ball call that went against his nation.

Kamal had also expressed his displeasure after he was overlooked from the duty of handing over the winner's trophy to the World Cup champions, a decision he said went against his right as ICC president.

According to the ICC's rules, the BCB had the option of nominating a replacement for Kamal, who is a former president of the Bangladesh board. On April 5, BCB president Nazmul Hassan said the board was still undecided over a replacement.
