Richards–Botham Trophy

The Richards–Botham Trophy will be a trophy awarded to the winner of Test cricket series played between England and the West Indies. It is named after the former international players Sir Vivian Richards and Sir Ian Botham, who played as rivals in West Indies–England fixtures, but were also team-mates at Somerset and good friends. The trophy replaces the Wisden Trophy, which was retired following the 2020 series between the two teams.[1]

The first series in which the teams are scheduled to compete for the new trophy is a two-Test tour of the West Indies by England in February–March 2022.[2]
