Former India and Mumbai captain Dilip Vengsarkar has said that he is honoured to have a stand at the iconic Wankhede Stadium named after him. At Tuesday's Apex Council meeting, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) decided to name the North Stand after Vengsarkar.

"It is a very emotional feeling and a great honour. The Wankhede Stadium has been my home ground and MCA is my home association, so this makes it extra special. I would like to thank the Apex Council. Thanks also to my India and Mumbai colleagues, and representatives of all MCA affiliated clubs for their support when I was a MCA administrator," Vengsarkar told mid-day on Wednesday.
