Three Former Indian Cricketers - Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, and Navjot Singh Sidhu were invited for the ceremony. Bollywood Actor Aamir Khan also got the invitation. But so far, only Sidhu has accepted the invitation and uncertainty prevails over Gavaskar and Kapil dev's presence.
Sidhu said, "It's a great honor and I accept the invitation. Men of Character are always trusted. Imran Khan is a man of his character. Sportsmen build bridges and unite people." Aamir Khan's presence is also in question as he never revealed his ideas.
