Anderson-Tendulkar trophy revealed, Pataudi medal to be given to winning captain

The Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy, a joint initiative between the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has revealed the much-anticipated trophy ahead of the five-match Test series, starting June 20 at Edgbaston. Previously, the series in England was played for the Pataudi trophy, while in India, it was named



after Anthony de Mello. 

After media reports circulated that the trophy was about to be named after James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar, the Pataudi family reportedly reached out to the ECB and BCCI. They also contacted Tendulkar to request the management keep Pataudi’s name for his contribution to both Indian and English cricket.
