ECB to ‘retire’ Pataudi Trophy: What’s next for ENG-IND series?

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is considering discontinuing the MAK Pataudi Trophy for England-India Test series starting in 2025. Speculations suggest a new trophy may honor more recent cricketing icons, though the ECB has yet to confirm any official changes. A source close to the family mentioned, “That is the understanding from the ECB. Apparently, trophies are retired after some time.”
