MUMBAI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that Mustafa Kamal has tendered his resignation as the cricket body's president with immediate effect.

In his resignation letter to ICC chief executive David Richardson, Kamal said he was stepping down on personal grounds and offered his apologies to all associated with the ICC, while adding that he had no complaints to make against anyone.

“Let the game of cricket under the leadership of ICC touch the hearts and minds of every cricket lover,” he wrote in his letter.

The ICC Board will now consider the vacant position of the ICC president at its forthcoming meeting in Dubai on 15 and 16 April.
