Calcutta: A.H.M. Mustafa Kamal, slighted president of the International Cricket Council (ICC), will personally "brief" Bangladesh's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, on the controversy over the presentation of the World Cup.
According to well-placed sources of The Telegraph, Kamal, who is his country's minister for planning, returned home on Tuesday evening and will brief the Prime Minister at the "first opportunity."
The issue has gone beyond that of an individual, thanks to the authoritarian attitude of ICC chairman Narayanswami Srinivasan, and is now all about the humiliation of Bangladesh.
As first reported in this newspaper, on Sunday, Srinivasan threw the ICC's constitution out of the window of his hotel in Melbourne and decided that he (not Kamal) would present the World Cup to Michael Clarke/Brendon McCullum.
Australia won, at the MCG on Sunday, and Clarke received the trophy from Srinivasan, when the presentation should have been made by Kamal in his capacity as the ICC president.
Shrewd that he is, Srinivasan used Kamal's comments on the umpiring during the India-Bangladesh quarter final to sideline him completely.
But has Srinivasan actually bitten off more than he can chew?
One learns that when Kamal calls on Sheikh Hasina, he would be accompanied by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president - Nazmul Hassan.
Both Kamal and Hassan have, by the way, already "spoken" to the Prime Minister from Melbourne.
Hassan, a Member of Parliament belonging to the ruling Awami League, is the son of Bangladesh's former President, Zillur Rahman, who died in Office two years ago.
At this stage, it's to be seen to what extent Bangladesh can push Srinivasan at the next Board meeting of the ICC, in the second week of April.
However, even if it is Bangladesh, somebody has shown the guts to try and take on Srinivasan. He couldn't seek a second term as the Board of Control for Cricket in India president, yet continues to chair the ICC.
Many find it extremely odd, and one is putting it mildly, that somebody who can't be the president of his national Board is the top gun in the ICC.
Surely, this can't reflect too well on the world body.
