The England and Wales Cricket Board has sent a formal invitation to late Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi’s wife Sharmila Tagore for the prize distribution ceremony after completion of the fifth and final Test between India and England scheduled from August 15-19 at the Oval.
Since the India versus England Test series played in England is known as the Pataudi Trophy, it used to be presented by the legendary Tiger Pataudi, who was also there during the last edition in 2011.
“Yes, I will be travelling to UK during the final Test match (at the Oval). I have already received a formal invitation from the ECB to be present at the Pataudi Trophy presentation ceremony,” Sharmila Tagore said.
