Fantastic to see two legends honoured with Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy: Jay Shah on England-India Test series
ICC Chair Jay Shah expressed his joy on India and England greats Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson have been honoured with a newly named trophy – the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy – which will be up for grabs in the five-Test series between the two nations. The five-Test series between the two sides, starting Friday, will also mark the beginning of the next ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle for both teams. "With the new WTC cycle under way it's fantastic to see two legends honoured with the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy for men's Test series between England and India. Equally special is the continued acknowledgement of the Pataudi family, with the introduction of the Pataudi Medal to be awarded to the winning captain of each England–India Test series," Shah posted on X. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) unveiled the new trophy, which features the imagery of both Tendulkar and Anderson and also has their signatures engraved on it as a tribute to the two stalwarts. The Pataudi family, after whom the previous Pataudi Trophy was named, will continue to be honoured through the introduction of the Pataudi Medal, a new accolade that will be awarded to the winning captain of the series. India's legendary batter Tendulkar, the first player with 200 Test caps, closed his red-ball career in 2013 with the most runs in the format, a record he still holds with a mammoth 15,921 runs, which include 51 centuries. He has delivered some memorable displays against England, scoring 2,535 runs at an average of 51.73, with a highest score of 193 at Headingley, the venue for the first Test between the two sides starting on Friday. Anderson, who represented England in 188 Test matches, claimed a whooping 704 wickets in the longest format – the third-highest in the format – before bringing the curtains down on his career last year. The seamer brought his best against India, amassing an incredible 149 wickets from 39 Tests, at an average of 25.47, including six five-wicket hauls.

New trophy to honour Anderson and Tendulkar in England-India Test Series
Leeds [UK], June 19 (ANI): The England Men's and India Men's Test teams will honour James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar with a new trophy dedicated to their remarkable achievements in Test cricket. The next edition of this great rivalry takes place this summer, with the five-match Test series getting underway at Headingley on June 20. 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), will now represent all future Test series between England and India. Previously, the series in England was played for the Pataudi Trophy and the series in India for the Anthony De Mello Trophy. The Pataudi family will continue to be honoured, with a newly commissioned Pataudi Medal to be presented to the winning captain of each England-India Test series. The trophy features imagery of Anderson and Tendulkar in action, along with their engraved signatures- a fitting tribute to two of the game's most iconic figures. Both Anderson and Tendulkar are widely regarded as all-time greats. They are the most-capped players in the history of Test cricket: Tendulkar played 200 matches, and Anderson 188. Anderson, considered one of the finest exponents of swing bowling, took 704 Test wickets, the most by a fast bowler in the format. The Lancashire seamer ranks third on the all-time list, behind only spinners Muttiah Muralitharan and Shane Warne. Tendulkar, one of the most complete batters to have graced the game, remains the highest run-scorer in Test history with 15,921 runs. He made his debut at the age of 16 and went on to enjoy a distinguished 24-year international career, during which he played a pivotal role in India's success against every other Test-playing nation. The official X handle of BCCI posted, 'Two cricketing icons. One special recognition The legendary Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson pose alongside the new Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.' James Anderson, said, 'It's a proud moment for me and my family to have this iconic series named after Sachin and myself. The rivalry between our two nations has always been something special, full of history, intensity and unforgettable moments,' as quoted from a release by BCCI. 'To be recognised in this way is a real honour. I'm looking forward to seeing the next chapter unfold in England this summer. It promises to be compelling, competitive cricket - exactly what you'd expect from two great sides. This is elite sport at its finest,' he added. Sachin Tendulkar, said, 'For me, Test cricket embodies life - you give your best, and if things go wrong, it gives you another day to regroup, think, unlearn, and bounce back. It is the highest form of the game that teaches you endurance, discipline and adaptability, against all odds. I owe my foundation to Test cricket, as it has seen me grow from disappointments to triumphs, from aspirations to fulfilment.' 'India and England have played a big role in shaping Test cricket in a way that it remains an evolving inspiration for subsequent generations. And now, as I share this recognition with my on-field challenger and an off-field gentleman James, I hope that the world celebrates the essence of Test cricket even more - allowing it to traverse boundaries yet untrodden,' he noted. Richard Thompson, Chair, ECB, said, 'This new trophy is a brilliant way to honour two absolute legends of the game. Jimmy and Sachin have given cricket fans around the world so many unforgettable moments, and it is fitting that their names will now be part of every men's Test series between England and India. I've had the privilege of watching both men produce world-class performances over the years, while they are both true ambassadors of the game off the pitch. This trophy is a celebration of their incredible careers and the extraordinary impact they have had on the game, reflecting the deep respect between our two cricketing nations.' 'The Pataudi family also has a hugely important place in the cricketing connections between our countries, and I'm pleased that we will continue to honour their legacy through the awarding of the Pataudi Medal that will be provided to the winning captain,' he added. 'I can't wait to see the first series played for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy to get underway in a few days' time,' he noted. Devajit Saikia, Honorary Secretary, BCCI, said, 'India and England have always shared a riveting cricketing rivalry. It's a matter of immense pride that the Test series between these two nations will be named after two of their most prolific cricketing names - Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson.' 'The two lit up the game with their brilliant performances over the course of their outstanding cricketing careers, which have inspired millions across the globe,' he said. 'We are sure that a Trophy named after the two icons will be another significant feather in their cap and will add a significant chapter in the Test series between India and England,' he added. Roger Binny, President, BCCI, said, 'This is a truly momentous occasion for cricket. To rename the prestigious Test series between India and England after two absolute titans of the game, Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson, is a fitting tribute to their unparalleled contributions.' 'The 'Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy' will not only celebrate their individual legacies but also serve as a permanent reminder of the fierce yet respectful rivalry that has defined India-England Test cricket for decades,' he noted 'We at the BCCI are incredibly proud to be a part of this historic decision, and we believe it will add another layer of prestige and excitement to future encounters between these two great cricketing nations,' he added. Anderson set the standard in his Test career against India. In 39 matches, he took 149 wickets at an average of 25.47, including six five-wicket hauls. In the 32 Tests he played against England, Tendulkar amassed 2,535 runs at an average of 51.73, with a highest score of 193 at Headingley in 2002, the home of Yorkshire, the county he represented as their first overseas player in 1992. Alongside their illustrious careers on the field, Anderson was awarded a knighthood for services to cricket in 2024, while Tendulkar received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour, in 2014.

Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy Unveiled: A New Era In India–England Test Rivalry, Pataudi Medal To Honor Winning Captain
A new era has begun in India–England Test cricket as the two boards, BCCI and ECB, have jointly unveiled the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy, a tribute to two of the game's greatest legends: James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar. The move replaces the historic Pataudi Trophy and Anthony de Mello Trophy, marking a symbolic evolution of one of Test cricket's most prestigious rivalries. A Tribute to Two Modern Icons The newly revealed trophy bears the names, images, and signatures of Sachin Tendulkar, cricket's all-time highest run-scorer, and James Anderson, the most prolific fast bowler in Test history. Together, the two represent longevity, excellence, and the highest standards in cricket. The trophy will now be awarded to the winner of every bilateral Test series between India and England, regardless of location. Two cricketing icons. One special recognition _ The legendary Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson pose alongside the new ________-_________ ______ _#TeamIndia | #ENGvIND | @sachin_rt | @jimmy9 — BCCI (@BCCI) June 19, 2025 Pataudi Medal Preserves Legacy Though the Pataudi Trophy name has been retired, the legacy of the late Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, former India captain and a cultural bridge between the two nations, will live on through the newly introduced Pataudi Medal. This medal will be awarded to the captain of the series-winning team, ensuring that Pataudi's contributions are not forgotten but honored in a new format. Why the Change? Previously, India and England competed for two different trophies: the Pataudi Trophy (in England) and the Anthony de Mello Trophy (in India). With this renaming, there will now be one unified trophy, the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy, for all India–England Test series. This move simplifies the rivalry's identity and raises its global stature.

Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy unveiled for India vs England Test series
In a historic move, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have announced the launch of the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy, a prestigious new honour that will now be contested in all future Test series between England and India. This decision marks a tribute to two of the greatest Test cricketers of all time – Sir James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar – whose legendary careers have shaped the modern era of the game. Set to be inaugurated with the upcoming five-match Test series beginning on Friday, 20 June at Headingley, the new trophy replaces the Pataudi Trophy (previously awarded during series in England) and the Anthony De Mello Trophy (awarded during series in India). In honour of the Pataudi legacy, a Pataudi Medal will now be presented to the winning captain at the end of each India–England Test series. The trophy will bear the engraved signatures and action imagery of both icons. Tendulkar, who scored a staggering 15,921 Test runs, and Anderson, who claimed 704 wickets, the most by a fast bowler, are also the most-capped players in Test history with 200 and 188 matches respectively. Reacting to the announcement, Sir James Anderson said, 'It's a proud moment for me and my family to have this iconic series named after Sachin and myself. The rivalry between our two nations has always been something special, full of history, intensity and unforgettable moments. To be recognised in this way is a real honour.' Sachin Tendulkar echoed Anderson's sentiments, 'Test cricket embodies life, you give your best, and if things go wrong, it gives you another day to regroup, think, unlearn, and bounce back. I owe my foundation to Test cricket. Sharing this recognition with James, a great on-field competitor and an off-field gentleman, is a privilege.' The decision has been applauded across cricketing circles. ECB Chair Richard Thompson commented. 'This new trophy is a brilliant way to honour two absolute legends. Jimmy and Sachin have given cricket fans countless unforgettable moments, and it's fitting their names will now be etched into the history of this rivalry.' 'To rename this prestigious series after two titans of the game is a fitting tribute. The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy will not only honour their legacies but also elevate the stature of this contest.' Both players had exceptional records against each other's teams. Anderson claimed 149 wickets in 39 Tests against India, while Tendulkar scored 2,535 runs in 32 matches against England, including a memorable 193 at Headingley in 2002, the very ground where the new chapter of this rivalry will begin. As the cricketing world awaits the first clash under the new trophy, the Anderson–Tendulkar legacy will continue to inspire generations and cement this series as one of the sport's finest contests.
