Pakistan v MCC series summary

Idrees Baig incident

On the third evening of the match against Pakistan in Peshawar, some of the English players, fed up with what they regarded as the Pakistani umpire Idrees Baig's pomposity on the field and his bias in favour of Pakistan, kidnapped him, took him back to their hotel and tipped a bucket of water over him. The incident caused outrage in Pakistan and almost led to the abandonment of the tour, but diplomacy by the MCC president, Lord Alexander, and Iskander Mirza, the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in Pakistan, smoothed things over sufficiently to allow the tour to continue.[7][8][9][10]
