The five-match Test series between India and England will be renamed after the seasoned duo of Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson.
The Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy will be unveiled in the run-up to the five-match series, which begins at Headingley on 20 June.
India great Tendulkar remains the leading run-scorer in Test history with 15,921. The 52-year-played 200 Tests between 1989 and 2013.
Anderson is both England’s all-time leading wicket-taker and the most successful pace bowler in Test cricket with 704 wickets.
Tendulkar and Anderson played against each other in 14 Tests. No bowler dismissed Tendulkar more than the nine times he was removed by Anderson.
Test series between England and India in the UK had previously been played for the Pataudi Trophy, named after the Pataudi family.
The Nawab of Pataudi played for both England and India in the 1930s and 40s, while his son played for India in the 1960s and 70s and was one of their greatest captains. The Pataudi family have been told of the trophy change.
