Retrievers were an Indian first-class cricket team that took part in the Moin-ud-Dowlah Gold Cup Tournament in 1934-35, playing two matches. After the Maharajkumar of Vizianagram's team the Freelooters won the Moin-ud-Dowlah Gold Cup Tournament in 1931-32 and 1932-33, his cricket-promoting rival the Maharaja of Patiala established his own team, Retrievers, for the next tournament in 1934-35.[1] Captained by the Maharaja's son the Yuvraj of Patiala and consisting of 10 Indian Test players along with the Australian leg-spinner Frank Warne, the Retrievers dominated their semi-final against Hyderabad Cricket Association XI,[2] and met Freelooters in the final. Thanks to a century by Lala Amarnath and the bowling of Mohammad Nissar (eight wickets) and C. K. Nayudu (seven wickets), they won by three wickets.[3] Neither Retrievers nor Freelooters played again.
