There are nine lives with the Irani name on that mother’s little helper page on cricinfo.
None of them have the surname Cup or Trophy. So I take it the Irani Trophy is not named after any of them.
Appears it's named after a certain, or rather uncertain Z Irani, treasurer of the BCCI from 1928 to Kingdom come and from 1948 to more Kingdoms come, a record 32 years. And if that wasn’t enough he was also the BCCI President for three years from 1966-67 to well, not exactly Kingdom come.
Be wonderful when they name a tournament after Pawar. Be aptly called the Pawar Cup. I can almost see the logo image, can you?
