Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has rebuked former England captains Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton for alleging that India has an unfair advantage in the 2025 Champions Trophy by playing all their matches in Dubai. Gavaskar criticized their focus on India instead of addressing England's own shortcomings, especially after their recent losses, including an eight-run defeat to Afghanistan that led to their tournament exit. He emphasized India's significant contribution to global cricket revenues, stating, "They need to understand that their salaries also come from what India brings to the world of cricket." Gavaskar urged critics to introspect and improve their teams rather than attributing their failures to external factors.
