Amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding the possible retiring of the Pataudi Trophy and introduction of the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy for India’s upcoming Test series in England, veteran speedster James Anderson has reacted positively to having his name associated with the prize.

Anderson is, in fact, delighted at the prospect of the series being named after him and India legend Sachin Tendulkar. 

“It’s a huge honour,” Anderson told ESPNcricinfo.
