The India vs England Test series trophy has been renamed to honor two cricket legends — Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson. This new name celebrates their incredible contributions to the game and marks a historic change in cricket tradition.
A Big Change Before the India-England Test Series Begins
The much-awaited Test series between India and England is set to begin on June 20, and there’s already big news before the first ball is bowled. The famous Test series is getting a new name—and it honors two of the greatest cricketers in history.
Trophy Now Named After Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson
According to BBC Sport, the England Cricket Board (ECB) has decided to rename the trophy for the Test series between India and England. From now on, it will be called the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy, named after Sachin Tendulkar, India’s legendary batsman, and James Anderson, England’s greatest fast bowler.
This new name is a way to recognize the incredible impact both players have had on Test cricket over the years. Tendulkar is known as the “Master Blaster” and holds many batting records, while Anderson is the most successful fast bowler in Test history with over 700 wickets.
When Will the New Trophy Be Shown?
Reports say that the new Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy will be unveiled soon, possibly before the first Test match at Headingley, Leeds. That match is set to begin on June 20. The official presentation of the trophy is also expected to take place at that time.
Although the ECB has not yet made a public announcement, the news is being widely reported and is exciting fans around the world.
What Happened to the Pataudi Trophy?
For many years, the Test series between India and England was played for the Pataudi Trophy, named after former Indian captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. It was introduced in 2007 to honor his contribution to Indian cricket, especially after India’s first full Test tour of England in 1932.
Now, after many years, the name is being changed to reflect the legacy of more modern cricket icons. This move may come as a surprise to some fans, but it also signals a new era in India-England cricket history.
A Tribute to Legends
The Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy is not just a name change—it’s a tribute to two players who gave their hearts to Test cricket. As the series begins in June, all eyes will be on the action, but also on this new symbol of respect and greatness in the sport.
