Former great batsman of India, raised questions on ECB, surprised at changing the name of Pataudi Trophy?

Sunil Gavaskar: There is an atmosphere of chaos in the cricket world. The news is coming that England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) want to rename ‘Pataudi Trophy’ to name the trophy after Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson. Former India captain and legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has objected to this decision of ECB. He has described this decision as ‘worrying’ and ‘insensitive to history’.

In fact, recently the news was revealed that the name of the Pataudi Trophy of the Test series played between England and India is going on. The ECB wants the Pataudi Trophy to be renamed after Indian veteran Sachin Tendulkar and famous England player James Anderson. Now Sunil Gavaskar has expressed his opinion on this whole matter.

The contribution of Pataudi family is being ignored

Sunil Gavaskar wrote in his sports star’s column that recently it was reported that the Pataudi Trophy of the 5 -match Test series to be played between England and India in England is being retired, which is extremely worrying. Gavaskar further said, this is the first time that the trophy named after a player is being retired.

Recalling the contribution of the Pataudi family, Sunil Gavaskar said that even though the decision is completely of ECB, it is clear that the contribution of the Pataudi family in cricket is now being ignored gradually.

Sunil Gavaskar warns

Gavaskar in the end has advised the Indian player that if an Indian player is asked to be the new name of the trophy, he should immediately refuse. ECB has every right to keep a trophy in the name of its player, but no Indian player should be a part of this decision. Because in the coming time, a trophy of his name can also be retired in this way. Apart from this, the captains will also be insulted before doing so.
