Everyone has seen how we were made to lose. We will win in the future,&quot; she said, according to a bdnews24.com report.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;We would have won if the umpires did not give wrong decisions. Insha Allah, Bangladesh will win in the future. Bangladesh will become world champions someday,&quot; she said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The prime minister&#39;s comments came after International Cricket Council (ICC) president Mustafa Kamal, from Bangladesh, courted a major controversy when he said the on-field umpires, England&#39;s Ian Gould and Pakistan&#39;s Aleem Dar, had entered the match with an agenda, according to media reports.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Kamal questioned the umpires&#39; integrity and went on to imply that they had favoured India in their adjudication, The Melbourne Age reported.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The controversy centred around a decision by Gould and Dar, in which Indian batsman Rohit Sharma was adjudged caught off a no-ball when he was batting on 90, and hence, was given not out.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The umpires ruled that the ball from Rubel Hossain was above the batsman&#39;s waist and therefore was not a legal delivery, though television replays showed that the ball had only been at waist height when it hit Sharma&#39;s bat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Sharma made a century and Bangladesh went on to lose the match by 109 runs at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) which put paid to their hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals for the first time in their cricket history.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The ICC, in a statement on Friday, refuted the allegations made by Kamal and termed his comments &quot;very unfortunate, but made in his personal capacity&quot; and said that &quot;he should have been more considerate in his criticism of ICC match officials&quot;, according to the Melbourne Age report.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
