A new trophy was dedicated to honour Sir James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar for their remarkable achievements in Test cricket. The next edition will take place this summer, with the Rothesay five-match Test series getting underway at Headingley on Friday 20 June, 2025.
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
