KUALA LUMPUR, April 13 (Bernama) — Malaysian Cricket Association (MCA) president Mohammed Iqbal Ali Kassim Ali today resigned from his post, which he assumed in 2021.
Mohammed Iqbal Ali, who once captained the national cricket team, reflected on his tenure by highlighting the association’s achievements under his leadership.
“Cricket is a gentleman's game, built on a bedrock of integrity, sportsmanship and rules known to the millions who play this sport globally.
“By stepping down today, I maintain my integrity. My love for the game has not diminished nor has my commitment to see our flag raised on the world stage by those who come from this land,” he said in a statement.
He described the MCA Executive Committee under his leadership as the most successful in the history of Malaysian cricket for earning major milestones, including placing the national men’s and women’s teams in their highest ever global ranking of 24th.
“This year the MCA hit a revenue of over RM17 million; when I took over, it was merely RM4 million per year,” he said.
Mohammed Iqbal Ali claimed that the current situation was a ‘coup d’état’ and urged those involved to reflect on their actions.
“I cannot speak for those who have not resigned today – it will be for them to address in their own conscience, and I will let history judge their actions,” he added.
