MCC commissions trophy for England v India series
Date released: 9 August 2007
Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has commissioned an new trophy - The Pataudi Trophy - to be presented to the winning captain at the end of future England v India npower Test series.
The commissioning of the trophy was suggested by MCC's Arts & Library Committee to help celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first England v All-India Test series, in 1932.
This suggestion was then discussed, and supported, by both national governing bodies - the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The new trophy has been designed and manufactured by Jocelyn Burton - the renowned silversmith. It will be presented to the series-winning captain at end of the third and final npower Test match, at The Brit Oval by 'Tiger' Pataudi.
In the event of the series being drawn, it will be presented jointly to the two captains and be put on display in the MCC Museum at Lord’s.
MCC has named the trophy after the Pataudi family in recognition of their immense contribution to Anglo-Indian cricket.
The Nawab of Pataudi Senior (Iftikhar Ali Khan) had the unique distinction of playing Test cricket for both England and India. He represented England in three matches between 1932 and 1934, before earning another three Test caps as India's captain in 1946.
His son, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, the Nawab of Pataudi Junior, more usually known as 'Tiger' Pataudi, earned 46 caps for India between 1961 and 1975 - captaining his country in no fewer than 40 of these Tests. He then served cricket as an ICC referee, in both Test and one-day international matches.
MCC's Secretary & Chief Executive, Keith Bradshaw, said:
"I am delighted that The Pataudi Trophy has been commissioned. It's a great way of celebrating the 75th anniversary of the first England v All-India Test series, in 1932.
"It's also a very appropriate way of marking the Pataudi family's unique contribution to Anglo-Indian cricket over many years."
