Cricket Australia breaks silence on not inviting Gavaskar for trophy presentation

Cricket Australia (CA) finally broke their silence on not inviting legendary India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar to present the Border Gavaskar Trophy to Australia. Notably, Australia beat India by 3-1 in the five-match Test series as they beat them for the first time since 2015 to stake claim on the silverware named after legendary cricketers Allan Border and Sunil Gavaskar.

However, only one of the two legends was present at the podium to hand over the trophy to the winners as Border presented it to Australia captain Pat Cummins. The move didn’t seem to go down well with Gavaskar, who was left upset with him not being invited for the trophy presentation.

A CA spokesperson finally broke his silence on the matter and acknowledged that it would’ve been preferable had both Border and Gavaskar were there on the stage to present the trophy.
