MP Bajana
Manek Pallon Bajana toured England with the All India team in 1911, and scored 108 against Somerset in Taunton. Prior to the trip, he had been employed by the Maharajah of Cooch Behar, but he stayed on after the tour, and Somerset snapped him up; he played more than 50 first-class matches for them, scoring two centuries in 1920, which turned out to be his final season. There was already a link between Cooch Behar and Somerset, as KH Narayan, the Maharajah’s son, played a few matches for them in 1909 and 1910. Narayan and Bajana were known to the Taunton faithful as ‘prince” and “Pyjamas.”
