ICC8217;s image not good: David Morgan

8220;I do not believe at all times we govern in the optimum way but govern we certainly do,8221; he said in a press conference.

Chief executive Malcolm Speed8217;s premature step-down to protest the ICC8217;s refusal to make the alleged financial irregularities in Zimbabwe Cricket public, has not done the image any good either.

Speed was sent on a paid holiday last week and ICC general manager Dave Richardson was given temporary charge of his job before CEO-elect Haroon Lorgat takes over in July.

Morgan insisted that Speed was never asked to vacate his post, instead the Australian himself decided to leave as he was 8216;uncomfortable8217; with the ICC8217;s handling of Zimbabwe.

8220;That has not been imposed on him Speed. Zimbabwe is an issue where the president and the chief executive have disagreed, there is no doubt about that,8221; said Morgan.

8220;You know what the board decision was in relation to the KPMG report, Mr Speed was clearly uncomfortable with that,8221; he added.
