LONDON (Reuters) - A new Richards-Botham trophy will be up for grabs when England and West Indies next meet in a test series as the teams pay homage to two of their greatest cricketers.

The title honours West Indies batting great Viv Richards, who scored more than 8,500 runs in a 121-test career, and England all-rounder Ian Botham, who recorded more than 5,000 runs and took 383 wickets in 102 tests appearances.
