Per this discussion at the Cricket Project, concerns and doubts have been raised about this trophy actually existing. All the sources hint at the possibility of giving the Test series between Bangladesh and India a name, but nothing from any reliable cricket source (ICC, Cricinfo, etc) have confirmed this to be the case.

- Delete no evidence this trophy actually exists. The sources for the series since this trophy "started" make no mention of it, and I see no evidence of such a trophy being awarded. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:22, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete as per the discussion in the cricket talk page. Only mentions are a few "demands to name the trophy" and these appear in fairly unreliable websites. No hits from any major sources or that the trophy was acutally given that name. Tintin 09:20, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. Credit where it is due, this article has managed to survive for 5 years despite being totally made up! A record for a fake article on this site perhaps? StickyWicket (talk) 22:48, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
