Mumbai, May 27 -- The Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy will have to wait. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has decided to retain the Pataudi Trophy, named after the late India skipper, for India's upcoming Test series in England. "The upcoming series will be the Pataudi Trophy," an ECB spokesperson confirmed. About two months back, ECB wanted to retire the Trophy named after Mansur Ali Khan (Tiger) Pataudi and had written to his family about it. The move drew criticism from Pataudi's wife Sharmila Tagore, the renowned actress. "If the BCCI wants to or does not want to remember Tiger's legacy, it is for them to decide," she told HT, wanting the Indian cricket board to intervene. Pataudi's teammate and former India captain Sunil Gavaskar was scathing. "It shows a total lack of sensitivity to the contribution made by the Pataudis to cricket in both England and India. Here's hoping that if an Indian player has been approached, he'll have the good sense to politely decline - not only out of respect for two former India captains but also to avoid the same fate of having a trophy named after him retired after he is gone," Gavaskar wrote in his column for Sportstar. It is understood that ECB contemplated re-naming the trophy after Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson, the most capped and celebrated Test cricketers of their countries. It could not be confirmed if Tendulkar was consulted on this. India's Test tours of England, 2007 onwards, have been played for the Pataudi Trophy - an idea commissioned neither by ECB nor BCCI, but by MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club), the custodians of cricket's laws based at Lord's. It was to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first India-England Test, played at Lord's in 1932. Tiger Pataudi's father Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi represented both England and India in Tests. MCC is known to have reached out to an influential cricket administrator and may have been discouraged from changing the trophy's name. Tiger Pataudi played 46 Tests between 1961-75, 40 of them as captain, scoring 2,793 runs at an average of 34.91, remarkably extending his career despite losing vision in one eye following an accident. He died in September 2011. He became India's youngest Test captain in 1962, aged 21 years and 66 days. "It's good if they have retained the Pataudi Trophy," Sharmila told HT when contacted on Sunday....
