Pretty sure a link between Hussain comments and sky and bcci having frosty relation during the time exist.
Considering bcci were controlling everything at the time, the press couldn't even use pictures from an agency but from bcci own photographers.
From all account wasn't a great tour for the press suppose Kharma won with England having the last laugh with England winning and bcci being embarrassed with the way they treated the English guest.
Plus was strong rumers at the time bcci hated anything England related in the media and made life difficult for everyone.
Sure you can link the money to the sky point, but not sure anyone got a reason for why Getty images were banned or why journalist had such a hard time in the media centre or in some cases even a pass to get in the stadium. Athers wasn't allowed a camera in the stadium in the first few test.
Bcci made life very difficult for the English press in that series and suspect hussain comments played a part.
TBH it wasn't even Hussain comments alone, Vaughan made headlines every two days think before there was a 13 mins video on all the controversy including the ones in India for the odi series that followed in you tube during the time bcci and the English press did not get on that frosty relation was the reason why sky didn't go to India with the money just being a reason for bcci to make a fuss so sky don't send a team to India.
