Cricket Australia conceded it was the wrong decision and that both Allan Border and Sunil Gavaskar should have handed the trophy

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

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.
