England pace legend James Anderson confessed that seeing his name alongside the iconic Sachin Tendulkar on a trophy feels “completely out of place,” calling it an incredible honour to be associated with “one of the greatest cricketers to have ever lived”.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has rechristened the Test series between India and England as the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, paying tribute to the two titans of the sport.

Previously, the contests on English soil were played for the Pataudi Trophy, named after former Indian captains Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and his son Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi.
