Kamal\\\'s resignation won\\\'t affect ties with India: Nazmul

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Nazmul Hassan said he does not think AHM Mustafa Kamal's quitting as International Cricket Council (ICC) president will affect cricketing ties between Bangladesh and India, reports bdnews24.com.
Hassan spoke to journalists about Kamal's resignation and the future of the two countries' cricketing ties Thursday.
Hassan said the event of Kamal's stepping down was 'unfortunate' and that it would have been better if it had not happened.
Kamal was critical of 'controversial' umpiring decisions in the Bangladesh-India match at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Kamal quit his position in the ICC on his return to the country.
Many think the two countries' cricket ties may be affected because of the incident. Hassan, however, ruled that out.
"I can't find any reason (for this to rupture the relation of India and Bangladesh)… We are not complaining against any specific country. We have spoken about umpiring. We stressed why technology was not used when it was readily available."
On the other hand, India's national cricket body Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to go for an emergency meeting within a week to consider the situation ahead of Team India's impending Bangladesh tour in June.
A top official of the BCCI said AHM Mustafa Kamal's tirade against Narayanaswami Srinivasan is perhaps forcing the Indian board to meet and discuss the situation.
On condition of anonymity, he said Srinivasan's supporters in the BCCI are trying to force the emergency meeting.
"They may try to push BCCI to cancel the June tour of Bangladesh because Srinivasan is BCCI's representative in ICC and Kamal's tirade against him, they may argue, is now a national issue," he said.
"But Srinivasan has large number of opponents in the BCCI who will stoutly oppose such plans, arguing that Kamal's tirade against Srinivasan is a personal issue and BCCI cannot afford to create a diplomatic row," the BCCI official said.He said if BCCI cancelled the tour of Bangladesh, Kamal will surely get his government to take up the issue with Delhi.
The Modi government surely will not like to cancel the cricket tour for fear of adverse impact on bilateral relations at a time when they are at their best.
"Some of Srinivasan's opponents may actually like the BCCI to do something silly so that the issue boils over and the Modi government comes down hard on the BCCI and forces it to oust Srinivasan," said another BCCI official, again on condition of anonymity.
Some ministers of the Modi government are connected to BCCI and none of them belong to the Srinivasan camp.
His opponents are trying to rope in these ministers and get him out of BCCI.
Kamal has made it clear in a Dhaka press conference that his fight is against Srinivasan and not against the Indian board.
After all, India played a major role in getting Bangladesh its Test playing status, so it would be indeed ironic if it were to cancel its June 2015 tour of Bangladesh, when two Tests and three ODI matches are likely to be played
