The Pataudi Trophy is awarded to the winner of each Test cricket series between England and India contested in England. The trophy itself was designed and made by Jocelyn Burton. It was first awarded in 2007 to commemorate the 75 years since the first Test match between the two sides. India won the first Pataudi Trophy in England in 2007.

Series are played in accordance with the International Cricket Council's future tours programme, with varying lengths of time between tours. If a series is drawn then the country holding the Pataudi Trophy retains it.

Background

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]

Results

A team must win a series to hold the Pataudi Trophy. A drawn series results in the previous holders retaining the trophy. Five complete Pataudi Trophy series have been played, with India winning one, England three, and one drawn.
