5 iconic cricket rivalries and the names that can be used for those Test series

#3 Martin Crowe Memorial Trophy (England vs New Zealand)

Martin Crowe's dexterous batting and sharp tactical acumen endeared him to the connoisseurs

The entire cricket world united in palpable grief when the affable Martin Crowe passed away during the March 3rd of 2016 in Auckland. When the agony of losing one of their own subsided, poignant memories of the legendary New Zealand batsman's splendid playing career and his propensity for innovation began to seep into the minds of true patrons of the game.

Although the International Cricket Council have acknowledged his greatness by inducting him into the official Hall of Fame, Crowe's legacy will be complete when a major cricket series is named after him. Yes, his Cricket Max was the pioneer of the razzmatazz of T20 cricket. However, the technically astute batsman's heart lay in the sport's rightful place. The purity of Test cricket meant a lot to him. Considering that, the Test rubber between New Zealand and England can be played for the Martin Crowe Memorial Trophy.

Even as the other four ideas for prospective trophy names stem from the bipolarity of eminent cricketers, an exception can be made for the great man. Crowe was an integral part of the New Zealand team which won a home and away series each against England during the mid 80s. The 2-1 triumph on English soil in the summer of 1999 remains the only other series victory for New Zealand against the Old Blighty.
