Former Team India cricketer Farokh Engineer said that the England Cricket Board has erred in handling the renaming of the India-England Test series and the decision to introduce a 'Pataudi Medal' to the winning captain was an afterthought to satisfy the supporters like him.

"It (introducing Pataudi medal) was obviously an afterthought, they should have announced it in the beginning that would have more credibility but at least they have done something. Common sense has prevailed and hope the Pataudi name always remains," said Engineer.

He further expressed disappointment at removing his friend's name associated with the trophy.
