pataudi trophy name change : The ECB has decided to remove Pataudi’s name from India and England Test series. But the BCCI does not want to completely erase the memory of the ‘Nawabs’. By the way, the Indian Board wants to cover the name of Pataudi in the Test between India and England. The BCCI has also made a request to the ECB for that purpose.
The Indian Board has been requested by England Cricket, one of the prizes given at the end of the match should be named Patoudi. A board official said, “Changing the Pataudi Trophy is a member of the entire England Board. We had nothing to say. We had no role. We requested the ECB to make at least one of the prizes given after the match.
The Indian team’s England series is set to begin on June 25. So far the India-England series was named Pataudi Trophy. The trophy was first given in the first anniversary of the first Test match between India and England. The trophy was named after the Merliborn Cricket Club. India won the Pataudi Trophy in England that year.
But this year, the BCCI and ECB started discussing the name change of the trophy. According to sources, the England board wanted to name the trophy by the name of the legend of this generation. That decision has been seal. The name of the Test series between the two countries is going to be named after Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson. However, the name of the Pataudi Trophy has been debated. The trophy was named after the Pataudi family in the 21st. Iftifa Ali Khan Pataudi has played for both England and India as the only player. His son Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi has long led the Indian team. Family members were naturally outraged that the family’s name was removed from the trophy. The BCCI is probably taking steps this time.
