Sachin Tendulkar James Anderson Trophy : The two countries’ cricket board gave the decision to change the name of the Indo-England Test series after a long trick. According to sources, the name of the Test series between the two countries is going to be named Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson. The BCCI and the England Cricket Board have finalized the decision to name the trophy in the name of two legends.
The Indian team’s England series is set to begin on June 25. So far the India-England series was named Pataudi Trophy. The trophy was first given in the first anniversary of the first Test match between India and England. The trophy was named after the Merliborn Cricket Club. India won the Pataudi Trophy in England that year. But this year, the BCCI and ECB started discussing the name change of the trophy. According to sources, the two boards wanted to name the trophy by the name of the legend of this generation. That decision fell to the seal.
According to sources, the trophy will be inaugurated by two legends in the final of the upcoming Test World Championships in Lord’s. The same trophy will then be given in both India and England. However, the name of the Pataudi Trophy has been debated. The trophy was named after the Pataudi family in the 21st. Iftifa Ali Khan Pataudi has played for both England and India as the only player. His son Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi has long led the Indian team. Family members are naturally angry that the family’s name is removed from the trophy. Sharmila Tagore, wife of the late Pataudi, expressed her anger. Legendary Sunil Gavaskar also expressed dissatisfaction with this. However, the authorities of the two boards are not giving importance to the debate.
ECB and BCCI sources say the name of the trophy in the name of Sachin and Anderson is not supposed to be controversial. One owns the highest run of all time. Another, the most wicket -taker of all time as a pacer. The name of the series in the name of these two legends does not have to be questioned.
