Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy Unveiled: A New Era In India–England Test Rivalry, Pataudi Medal To Honor Winning Captain
A Tribute to Two Modern Icons
The newly revealed trophy bears the names, images, and signatures of Sachin Tendulkar, cricket's all-time highest run-scorer, and James Anderson, the most prolific fast bowler in Test history. Together, the two represent longevity, excellence, and the highest standards in cricket. The trophy will now be awarded to the winner of every bilateral Test series between India and England, regardless of location.

Pataudi Medal Preserves Legacy
Though the Pataudi Trophy name has been retired, the legacy of the late Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, former India captain and a cultural bridge between the two nations, will live on through the newly introduced Pataudi Medal. This medal will be awarded to the captain of the series-winning team, ensuring that Pataudi's contributions are not forgotten but honored in a new format.
Why the Change?
Previously, India and England competed for two different trophies: the Pataudi Trophy (in England) and the Anthony de Mello Trophy (in India). With this renaming, there will now be one unified trophy, the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy, for all India–England Test series. This move simplifies the rivalry's identity and raises its global stature.

England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt to miss third T20I against India Women
England Women's captain Nat Sciver-Brunt will miss the third Vitality IT20 against India Women at the Kia Oval with a left groin injury, the ECB announced on Thursday. 'Results of the scan will determine whether Sciver-Brunt is required to miss any more games in the series, with the fourth Vitality IT20 due to take place on Wednesday 9 July at Emirates Old Trafford,' the statement further said. Tammy Beaumont will captain the side in her absence, with Hampshire batter Maia Bouchier called up the squad for the Kia Oval as cover. Sciver-Brunt, who scored a half-century during England's 97-run loss against India in the first T20I, was seen going off the field while the host was fielding during the second match. England is trailing the series 0-2 after India notched up a 24-run win in the second T20I match with Amanjot Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues smashing half-centuries.

Hitesh, Sakshi add to India's medal tally at World Boxing Cup in Astana
Astana (Kazakhstan): Hitesh Gulia and Sakshi secured semifinal spots on Thursday and guaranteed themselves podium finishes, adding to India's burgeoning medal count at the second leg of the World Boxing Cup 2025 being held in Kazakhstan's capital. Hitesh, a gold medallist from the Brazil leg earlier this year, delivered a dominant 5:0 win over Kazakhstan's Almaz Orozbekov in the men's 70kg quarterfinal, ensuring another medal to his name. In the women's 54kg category, Sakshi put on a composed display to beat Brazil's Tatiana Regina de Jesus Chagas via unanimous decision. They now join guaranteed medallists Minakshi (48kg) and Pooja Rani (80kg), as well as Sanju (60kg), who confirmed a podium for herself on Wednesday after advancing to the semifinals. Anamika (51kg) also remains in contention after reaching the quarters. With several medals guaranteed and more boxers still in the mix, Team India's campaign in Astana continues to build toward a strong finish ahead of the World Boxing Cup Finals in New Delhi. On Wednesday, Minakshi sealed her place in the semifinals with a dominant 5:0 win over Chinese Taipei's Guo Yi-Xuan, showing sharp movement and clean scoring throughout. Pooja Rani followed with a gritty 4:1 split decision victory over Kazakhstan's Gulsaya Yerzhan in the 80kg division, securing her berth in the final four and guaranteeing a podium finish. Anamika (51kg) moved into the quarterfinals with a composed performance against Turkey's Aysen Taskin, keeping India's momentum alive. In the men's draw, Jadumani Singh fought hard in a close contest but lost narrowly to the Philippines' Jay Bryan Baricuatro, bringing his campaign to a close. India has claimed six medals at the previous World Boxing Cup leg in Brazil. With the Finals set to take place in New Delhi this November, the Astana leg plays a key role in shaping preparations. India had won one gold, one silver, and four bronze medals in the first leg of the 2025 World Boxing Cup at Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil. Uzbekistan had topped the medal table in the first leg in Brazil with eight medals, with five gold medals. Hosts Brazil finished with nine medals but had fewer gold (three), while Kazakhstan ended third with six medals, including three gold and three bronze.

IND vs ENG: Unbelievable! Shubman Gill does what every Pakistan captain failed to do in England
Shubman Gill (BCCI Photo) NEW DELHI: Shubman Gill etched his name in the history books by becoming the first Indian — and the first Asian — captain to score a double century in a Test match in England. The milestone came on Day 2 of the second Test at Edgbaston on Thursday. The previous best by an Asian captain in England was 193, scored by Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan at Lord's in 2011. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Gill, who had scored a fine 147 on his captaincy debut in Leeds, reached his maiden double century in Test cricket with a single — pulling Josh Tongue to deep fine leg. It took him 311 deliveries to get there. — BCCI (@BCCI) With this feat, Gill joined an elite group of Indian captains to have recorded double hundreds in Tests — a club that includes MAK Pataudi, Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar , MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli . Kohli remains the record-holder with seven double centuries as skipper. Tracing Moeen Ali's steps in Birmingham Before Gill's knock, the highest score by an Indian captain in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) countries was 192 by Mohammad Azharuddin against New Zealand in Auckland in 1990. Azhar's 179 in Manchester, also in 1990, stood as the highest score by an Indian captain in England — until now. Gill's landmark innings was laced with 21 boundaries and two towering sixes, underscoring his control and flair on a surface that offered little to bowlers. With this knock, he also became just the third Indian to register a Test double hundred in England after Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid.
