Sunil Gavaskar's exclusion from the trophy presentation ceremony has raised eyebrows, with many questioning whether racism played a role in the decision.

Cricket Australia broke its silence on legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar's displeasure at not being invited to present the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Sunil Gavaskar expresses displeasure after not being invited to present Border-Gavaskar trophy to Australia, reclaiming it after 10 years.

The plan by Cricket Australia was that Allan Border would present the trophy if Australia won and Gavaskar would if India retained it.

Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar insists he is “not feeling sad”, but “perplexed”, after not being invited on stage to present the trophy named after him to Australian captain Pat Cummins. Cricket Australia quickly conceded they made an error, but not before Gavaskar expressed his frustrations.
