The Idris Baig Affair — Water-Pouring at Peshawar, 1956

Pakistan vs MCC

1956-02-12

During an MCC under-25 tour match at Peshawar in February 1956, captain Donald Carr and several team-mates donned masks, abducted Pakistani umpire Idris Baig from his hotel and dragged him to Billy Sutcliffe's room where they doused him with buckets of water. The incident, born of frustration with Baig's umpiring, almost ended the tour and triggered demonstrations on the streets of Peshawar.
