Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy
Updated: 12/11/2025, 2:24:40 PM Wikipedia source
The Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy is awarded to the winner of each Test cricket series between England and India. The trophy was introduced in 2025 and is named in honour of England's former fast medium swing bowler James Anderson and India's former legendary middle-order batsman Sachin Tendulkar to replace the Pataudi Trophy and Anthony de Mello Trophy. The first 5-match series ended in a closely fought 2–2 draw.
