SYDNEY: The mythical Sunil Gavaskar may just omit the presentation of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which India captain Virat Kohli will obtain, irrespective of the result of the fourth and final Test against Australia.
Gavaskar said he has now not received invitation from Cricket Australia.
Visiting India have taken an unassailable 2-1 lead in the four-Test sequence, and will retain the trophy they received at home closing yr.
"I was sent a letter by Cricket Australia's Chief Executive, James Sutherland in May asking about my availability to present the Border-Gavaskar trophy and I would have been happy to go. But he stepped down and there has been no further contact," Gavaskar instructed India Today.
Border and Gavaskar had been the primary two to the touch the 10000-run mark in Test cricket.
Cricket Australia has since passed through an overhaul in the aftermath of the ball-tampering controversy in March, with Sutherland being one of the most workers to depart the scene.
India received the primary Test in Adelaide earlier than being humbled by the hosts in Perth.
However, the guests fought again to assert the Boxing Day Test by 131 runs and take a 2-1 lead.
The Border-Gavaskar trophy used to be offered in 1996.
