This was a bi-annual cricket tournament played between Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and Madras (now Tamil Nadu). The idea of the competition came about with the starting of a silver jubilee fund in 1952 to celebrate this person’s 25 years as a cricket and hockey player. Through the fund, an annual cricket match was instituted between Madras and Ceylon (later Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka) and it was named after this person. The match became a regular fixture in the annual calendar until Sri Lanka received Test status in 1983 and the competition was stopped. Person and thus the tournament!
