Gavaskar not invited to present Gavaskar-Border Trophy

Ever since the Gavaskar-Border Tophy was constituted, it was always presented to the winning team by both Sunil Gavaskar and Alan Border. However, it did not happen this time. Since Gavaskar had taken on the Australians for labelling racism charges against Harbhajan and also cricitized umpires Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson and match referee Mike Procter on the Sydney test fiasco, the Cricket Australia made its displeasure public by not inviting to present the Gavaskar-Border trophy to Ricky Ponting at the presentation ceremony after Adelaide test.
