This will be unlike 2011 when the late MAK Pataudi was not called on to present the trophy to winning captain Andrew Strauss at the Oval on August 22 at the end of the fourth Test.

PTI reported then that, "Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi was given the cold shoulder by the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) during the post-series presentation ceremony where English captain Andrew Strauss was officially handed the sponsors' trophy rather than the Pataudi Trophy for which the teams were officially playing for."
