Pataudi Trophy
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, but England currently hold the trophy, having won each of the last three series.
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 England and India. 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.
Prior to the trophy's inception, India played in England for fourteen series. The overall record was 11 English victories, 2 Indian victories, and 1 drawn series.
