BASIL D'OLIVEIRA TROPHY
​

The Basil D'Oliveira Trophy is a trophy played for by England and South Africa in the sport of cricket.The trophy is awarded to the team that wins a Test series between the two nations. If the series is a draw, the holder keeps the trophy. It was first contested in the 2004-05 series played in South Africa.

The trophy is named for Basil D'Oliveira, a South African born English Test cricketer whose inclusion in the English squad to tour South Africa in 1968-69 led to the cancellation of the tour following objections from South African authorities due to D'Oliveira's classification as "coloured".

WHO WAS BASIL D' OLIVEIRA?

Basil Lewis D'OliveiraCBE (4 October 1931 – 19 November 2011), known affectionately around the world as "Dolly", was a South African cricketer who played for England. D'Oliveira was classified as 'coloured' under the apartheid regime, and hence barred from first-class cricket, resulting in his emigration to England. He played for the England cricket team in forty-four Test matches, and four ODIs. Despite his cricketing prowess, he was best known because of the "D'Oliveira affair", centred on his inclusion in the England side for a planned tour to South Africa in 1968.

D'Oliveira had Parkinson's disease in later life. He died aged 80 in England, on 19 November 2011.

A farewell for D'Oliveira was written on the last 2011 issue of Time magazine by Trevor Manuel, South Africa's minister in the Presidency for national planning. It highlights the personal successes of the cricket player together with the impact he had on South African sport and society.
