New Delhi,June 17, 2025.
The Pataudi name will remain a part of the India-England cricket rivalry with the winning captain of the upcoming five-Test series set to be presented with a medal named after the royal family that has a rich connect with the game in both countries.
The decision to rename the Pataudi Trophy to Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy was taken by the England and Wales Cricket Board. A formal announcement was due on the sidelines of the WTC final at Lord’s last week but it was put off in light of the horrific Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad.
Renaming the trophy drew criticism from the likes of former India captain Sunil Gavaskar.
