Richards–Botham Trophy
Trophy for winners of test cricket series between England and West Indies / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Richards–Botham Trophy is a trophy awarded to the winner of Test cricket series played between England and the West Indies.[1] It is named after the former international players Viv Richards and Ian Botham, who played as rivals in West Indies–England fixtures, but were also team-mates at Somerset and good friends.[2] The trophy replaces the Wisden Trophy, which was retired following the 2020 series between the two teams.[3]
