According to sources, the official was unhappy with the way the T20 World Cup was being conducted and decided to resign.

The resignation comes as a major blow to the ICC, which has been facing criticism for its handling of the T20 World Cup.

The official's resignation has raised questions about the transparency and decision-making process of the ICC.
