Sachin’s reaction on changing the name of Pataudi Trophy
Highlights

- Said- I immediately approached Pataudi family
- Now the name of Pataudi Trophy has been changed
New Delhi: The Pataudi Trophy has been renamed Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy after Tendulkar and former England fast bowler James Anderson. This decision has been taken by England and Wales Cricket Board and BCCI together.
India’s legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar said on Thursday that as soon as he came to know about it, he contacted the family of late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi.
I know that the BCCI retired the Pataudi Trophy a few months ago, but when I came to know that it is being named after me and Anderson, I first called the Pataudi family. Tiger Pataudi has played a big role in inspiring many generations, which cannot be forgotten.
The Pataudi family will be connected to the series as it has now been decided to give the new ‘Pataudi Excellence Medal’ to the victorious captain. It took place after several rounds of talks between Tendulkar and former BCCI secretary and current Chairman of ICC and top officials of ECB.
Tendulkar said, ‘I talked to him. I told everything. I also said that we have to make every effort to keep the Pataudi heritage alive. After this, I spoke to Shah and ECB officials and gave some suggestions.
He said, ‘I first visited England in 1988. My first flight was from Mumbai to London. Now I am very happy to have a trophy in my name.
