'I feel out of.....: Star player remark on Sachin Tendulkar for sharing Trophy of India vs England Test, his name is...
New Delhi: England fast bowler James Anderson admitted that he feels 'completely inappropriate' to see his name on a trophy alongside a legend like Sachin Tendulkar. He called it an incredible honour and called Sachin 'one of the greatest cricketers of all time'. Patoudi Trophy renamed
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has renamed the Test series between India and England as the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Earlier, the matches played on English soil were played for the Pataudi Trophy, which was named after Indian captains Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and his son Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. It is an honour to be associated with Sachin
Anderson said in a conversation with 'Sky Sports', 'It is not just that you have a trophy in your name, but it is an honour for me to be associated with a player like Sachin Tendulkar, whom I consider the greatest cricketer of all time.' He further said, 'I saw him as a child, played against him. He carried the burden of the country's expectations during his career and even after that. It is unbelievable for me to share this trophy with him.' Most experienced players of Test cricket
Both Sachin and Anderson are considered among the most experienced players in the history of Test cricket. While Tendulkar played 200 Test matches, Anderson has represented England in 188 Tests and taken 704 wickets. He faced Sachin several times in the late 2000s. Anderson's view on his career
The 42-year-old Anderson also shared that he sometimes feels isolated from the career he has made. He said, 'It is strange when people talk about the records I have achieved in my cricket, it seems as if someone else is talking.' Status of the last Test and series
Anderson bid farewell to his illustrious career last year so that England's new fast bowling generation can get a chance. England currently lead the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-1 and the fourth Test will begin in Manchester on Wednesday.

Cricketer Sarfaraz Khan drops 17 Kg, shares before-after pic that stuns fans
After being snubbed for the high-profile England Test series, Indian batter Sarfaraz Khan has undergone a remarkable transformation off the field, shedding 17 kilos in a determined effort to silence critics and reclaim his spot in the national side. Despite a strong start to his Test career and a stellar domestic record, the 27-year-old was overlooked for the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, with selectors opting for Sai Sudharsan and Karun Nair. Sarfaraz, who was part of the squad during the Australia tour but didn't get a game, was again sidelined, with coach Gautam Gambhir favouring Washington Sundar on seam-friendly pitches. Fitness, particularly weight, has long been seen as a hurdle in Sarfaraz's international journey. While his batting credentials were rarely questioned, concerns over his physique delayed his India debut and continued to cast a shadow over his selection prospects. Now, Sarfaraz is working hard to change that narrative. The Mumbai batter recently shared a photo on Instagram showing his leaner frame, revealing he had lost 17 kilos. The transformation was met with praise from fans, who lauded his dedication and discipline. After missing the England series, Sarfaraz did travel to the UK with the India A side. He scored a gritty 92 in the first unofficial Test but was left out of the next match to make room for KL Rahul's return to the XI. Sarfaraz's father and coach, Naushad Khan, spoke about his son's weight-loss journey in an interview with Hindustan Times earlier this year, revealing the drastic dietary changes the family made together. 'We've completely cut out roti, rice, sugar, maida, and bakery items,' he said. 'We eat broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, salads, grilled chicken, fish, boiled eggs, avocados, sprouts — and drink green tea and green coffee. It's been over a month since we touched roti or rice at home.'

Venus Williams wishes sister Serena come out of retirement to join her in competition
New York, July 22 (UNI) Seven-time major champion Venus Williams is training hard to make her comeback to tennis at the DC Open after more than a year away from the sport. When reporters asked her about her sister Serena's comeback to the game based on a video posted recently on social media, she replied that 'I mean, I keep saying to my team: 'The only thing that would make this better is if she was here,' like we always did everything together, so of course I miss her.' 'But if she comes back, I'm sure she'll let y'all know,' Venus told reporters ahead of her return, per the Associated Press. Williams told reporters about a recent training session where Serena briefly joined her sister, saying she was still striking the ball after being away from the court for quite some time, reports CNN. Serena – who won 23 grand slam singles titles, 14 in doubles with her sister and two mixed doubles titles – last played competitively at the 2022 US Open. 'She can take six months off and she clocks it clean,' Williams said, adding, "You can't teach that kind of talent. She's just so good. I don't know what she's going to do. I don't ask those questions. I think we always hit the ball because that's who we are, we're always hitting.' Venus Williams, a seven-time grand slam singles champion, last played a WTA Tour match in March 2024 when she lost in the opening round of the Miami Open to Russian Diana Shnaider.
