Feel completely out of place when I see myself alongside Tendulkar with the trophy: James Anderson
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has rechristened the Test series between India and England as the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, paying tribute to the two titans of the sport.
Previously, the contests on English soil were played for the Pataudi Trophy, named after former Indian captains Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi and his son Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi.
"It's not necessarily just how huge it is to have a trophy named after you, but alongside Sachin Tendulkar, who for me is one of the greatest ever cricketers to have lived.
"I feel completely out of place when I see myself alongside him with the trophy. I hold him in such high regard." Anderson told 'Sky Sports'.

Rishabh Pant arrives in crutches at Old Trafford; will India batter join the fight as visitors push to save 4th Test?
Rishabh Pant's chances of batting in the second innings of the fourth Test on the fifth day looked bleak as the Indian vice-captain arrived in crutches on Sunday at Old Trafford. Pant, who took a hit while batting on the opening day of the Test match, has fractured his toe and wasn't in a situation to even stand. Despite the unbearable pain, Pant came out to bat on the second day, after having strong pain killers and scored a fifty. Dhruv Jurel has been keeping wickets for India in the Test match. While it was unclear whether Pant would bat or not, he might nit have to come out padded up unless India suffer a miraculous collapse. In a picture shared on social media by his Indian Premier League (IPL) Lucknow Super Giants, Pant was seen walking in crutches with his training kit on. After having conceded a first-inning lead of 311 runs, India started their second innings on a disastrous note losing both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan departing with no runs on board. Captain Shubman Gill and KL Rahul revived the Indian ship with a 188-run stand for the third wicket before the latter missed century by 10 runs. Gill too perished after completing his hundred. Since then its all about all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, who have forged an unbeaten century-run stand to fight against England. If assumptions are to be believed In case the ongoing partnership is broken, Shardul Thakur will come out to bat before the pacers - Anshul Kamboj , Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj - come in, before Pant might arrive. Notably, all are capable of surviving the English bowling attack in the middle.

However, Woad responded with birdies on the 13th and the par-five 14th, reclaiming her advantage. Despite a bogey on the 16th after finding thick rough, she displayed strategic brilliance on the par-five 18th. Opting to lay up, Woad executed a precise wedge shot to two feet, sealing the victory. Kim's matching 68 secured second place, while Spain's Julia Lopez Ramirez and Sei Young Kim tied for third at 14 under. 'Winning is a pretty good outcome, I guess!' Woad said.

'I wasn't exactly sure how it would go, but it went fine!' she noted. Her performance outshone notable players like Nelly Korda, who finished fifth, and fellow English golfers Alice Hewson (tied-10th) and Charley Hull (tied-21st).

India vs Pakistan (File Photo) The upcoming Asia Cup 2025 is already generating headlines, not just for its blockbuster fixtures but also for the political tension surrounding them. Scheduled from September 9 to 28 in the UAE, the tournament sees India and Pakistan once again drawn in the same group, setting the stage for potential multiple high-voltage encounters.

While acknowledging the national sentiment, Ganguly maintained a firm but balanced stance. 'I am okay. The sport must go on. At the same time, Pahalgam should not happen. Terrorism must not happen; it needs to be stopped. India took a strong stance towards terrorism... Sport needs to be played,' he told ANI. His comments come amid growing criticism following the Asia Cup draw. The backlash intensified after Pakistan's Danish Kaneria questioned India's participation, drawing a contrast with India's withdrawal from the World Championship of Legends (WCL) clash against Pakistan in July due to patriotic reasons. The Asia Cup will be played in the T20 format, acting as a tune-up for the 2026 T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. Poll Are you excited about the T20 format of the Asia Cup? Very excited!

Group A includes India, Pakistan, UAE, and Oman; Group B includes Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong. India begin their campaign against UAE on September 10 and faces Pakistan on September 14, a fixture already considered among the biggest in world sport. If both teams advance, they could meet again in the Super Four stage and possibly even in the final on September 28, making for a potential triple showdown.
