Background test series

The trophy is named after the Pataudi cricketing family. Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi played for both international teams on three occasions and is the only man to have played for both England and India in Test matches. Iftikhar's son Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi was a long-term captain of the Indian side in the 1960s and 1970s. The Pataudi Trophy is presented to the victorious team as a symbol of its victory.

In India, the England–India Test series is played for the Anthony de Mello Trophy, albeit there have been attempts to make the Pataudi Trophy the winner's prize in India, as well as England. [3]

Prior to the trophy's inception, India played in England for fourteen series. The overall record was 11 English victories, two Indian victories, and one drawn series. [4]

Trophy

In 2007, Marylebone Cricket Club commissioned a new trophy to celebrate the 75th anniversary of India's first Test match in 1932. The trophy was designed and made by London Silversmith Jocelyn Burton in her studio in Holborn. The Trophy was displayed at Jocelyn's exhibition in November and December 2012 at Bentley & Skinner, London. [5]

Pataudi Trophy series
