Mustafa Kamal, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president, has shown protest by stating that weaker teams always get the short end of the stick when it comes to umpiring decisions.
"I was listening to the commentators during the recently concluded Pakistan series. Everyone mentioned there that we got bad decisions," Kamal said during the launch ceremony for the 2012 Asia Cup.
"If those decisions went our way, the cricket would have been more competitive but we couldn't do that. To err is human. I cannot talk against umpires being an ICC director, but I have seen that against weaker countries, there are more wrong decisions."
Kamal was mentioning to the fourth day of the second Test at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, when Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal was given out caught even though the ball appeared to have struck his helmet.
It was a crucial time for the Bangladesh team who were in pursuit of saving the game.
There was a loud yell for the Decision Review System (DRS), though this wasn't happening the first time.
Kamal was recently named the joint-nominee from Pakistan and Bangladesh for the ICC vice-presidency, and is in line to take over as president in 2014. He stated that the next Bangladesh television deal would include the use of DRS.
