England-New Zealand Test Series To Be Named After Graham Thorpe And Martin Crowe
New Zealand Test: England is set to honour legendary batter Graham Thorpe by naming a new trophy for the Test series with New Zealand. It will be named after Thorpe and New Zealand batter Martin Crowe, a tribute to two of the most iconic batter from their respective nations.
The trophy will be awarded to the winner of the Test series between England and New Zealand, a contest that dates back to the two nations’ first Test encounter in 1930. This initiative, expected to take effect in the upcoming series starting on November 28, aims to honour Crowe and Thorpe’s legacies, reported The Telegraph.
Crowe, often considered New Zealand’s finest batter represented his country in 77 Tests from 1982 to 1995, amassed an average of 45.36, including 17 centuries and 18 half-centuries. He was also celebrated as a thoughtful writer and commentator after his playing days, becoming one of cricket’s great thinkers. He passed away in 2016 at the age of 53, following a three-year battle with lymphoma.
