In the face of the long -awaited five -party tests between India and England, the legendary Cricket Sachin Tendulkar has taken part in the controversial decision made by the Cricket Board of England and Wales (ECB) to rename the historical Pataudi trophy.
According to a sensational report by Cricbuzz, Sachin Tendulkar personally intervened and convinced both England and the Cricket Board of Wales (ECB) and the Cricket Control Council in India (BCCI) to reconsider his transfer to receive the Pataudi trophy for the England-India tests series.
Sachin Tendulkar enters to save the legacy of the Pataudi trophy
With the series of tests a few days away, there was a growing discontent between fans and experts in Cricket after the ECB proposed to receive the emblematic trophy as the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy to pay tribute to two great modern ones, Sachin Tendulkar from India and James Anderson of England.

However, the decision did not go well with many, despite the fact that the official announcement should still be taken, which suggests that the ECB cannot ignore the legacy of former Captain Indian Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, who also played in Sussex. However, BCCI emphasized that the decision corresponds to the ECB.
In the midst of the buzz, Sachin Tendulkar did not stay silent and went directly to the main officials of both BCCI and the ECB, and expressed his strong reserves to remove a legacy tied so deeply to India’s cricketing roots. Following the intervention of Tendulkar, the President of the CPI, Jay Shah, also forced the ECB to rethink.

However, there is no official update about it, but it seems likely that the name Pataudi trophy will remain with the series of England-India tests, at least somehow, thanks to the intervention of Tendulkar and Shah. ECB officials can now create a special medal in memory of the missing Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, who will probably be given to the winning team captain.
Cricbuzz said that an ECB official said: “Yes, there is a confirmed plan to retain the Pataudi link in the England-India series.”
Above all, the deployment of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy ceremony was planned for the 4th of the final WTC of 2025 between Australia and South Africa in Lord’s, but was postponed due to the tragic air accident in Ahmedabad, which claimed more than 275 lives.
