It was the evening of February 26, 1956, when the third day of the third unofficial test match between the MCC cricket team visiting Pakistan and Pakistan was played at the Peshawar Club Ground. Mila had scored 130 runs for two wickets.

The next morning he needed to score just 18 runs to win the match, but at that time no one could have imagined that an event would take place that very evening that would deal a major blow to the cricketing relationship between Pakistan and England.

At the end of the third day of the match, a dinner was organized by the Peshawar Cricket Association in honor of both teams. The feast was held at Dean's Hotel where the MCC team was staying.

The English cricketers, ready to go to dinner, began to gather in vice-captain Billy Sutcliffe's room, where, while drinking, they finalized a plan.

The plan was to bring Pakistan's umpire Idris Baig to the same room and bathe him with water. These cricketers thought that they would easily invite Idris Baig to their room and then shower him with water.

England cricketer Brian Close, who was at the forefront of this project, says that 'two large pots were filled with water and preparations were made and the mastermind behind this project was Donald Carr, the captain of the MCC team.'

What was the complaint against Idris Beg?

The question arises why MCC players chose umpire Idris Baig for this project? The simple answer is that the visiting team was very upset with certain decisions made by Idris Baig during the matches and believed that these decisions were allegedly biased.

Journalist Brian Chapman, who came to Pakistan with the MCC team, wrote in the Daily Mirror that even in the Peshawar match, English players had made strong appeals for LBW, but they had no effect on Idris Baig.

During the same tour, in the match played in Dhaka before Peshawar, when the English players were engaged in their traditional mischief of throwing water on each other, they once saw Idris Beg, who was passing by, and said that one day They will bathe them in the same way.

This means that he was already prepared to teach Idris Beg a lesson.
