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]
In March 2021, Cricket West Indies announced the fixtures of the first edition, to be played in March 2022.[4][5]
