Anderson Tendulkar Trophy 2025 : The five -Test series between India and England is going to start from June 20. But with this series, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had decided to retire the ‘Pataudi Trophy’ to be given so far and named this series ‘Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy’. A lot of questions were raised on this and the decision was criticized. But now news is coming that Pataudi’s connection in this series will not end. This decision has been taken by ECB after the request of ICC chairman Jai Shah and Sachin Tendulkar himself. Now the captain of the winning team will be given a medal in the name of Pataudi.
What is the whole matter?
According to a report, BCCI and ECB officials definitely wanted the name ‘Pataudi’ to be associated with India and England, but also wanted to honor the series by name of Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson. According to reports, ECB never wanted to insult Pataudi Legacy, because Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi played Test cricket of both countries. At the same time, his son Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi was one of the best captains of India.
In such a situation, a way has been taken out to keep their names with this series to maintain respect for the Pataudi family. According to the report of Cricbuzz, the captain of the winning team will be given a medal, which will be known as Pataudi Medal. The trophy will be given in the name of Anderson-Tendulkar.
The series will start from June 20
