ECB to present India-England series winning captain with Pataudi Medal
After renaming the Pataudi Trophy to Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has decided that the winning captain of the upcoming five-Test series between England and India will be presented with a medal named after the Pataudi family, which has a rich connect with the game in both countries. ECB's move to rename the trophy after Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson drew criticism from the likes of former India captain Sunil Gavaskar. However, following the backlash, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) requested the ECB to introduce a Pataudi medal for the winning captain. According to sources in the BCCI, Tendulkar also reached out to the ECB and expressed that the Pataudi name should remain a part of India-England cricket. It is believed even ICC chairman Jay Shah had a role to play. 'The ECB has agreed to the request and decided to present the Pataudi Medal to the winning captain as a tribute to the Pataudi family, which has made a huge contribution to the game,' a source in the BCCI said.
