Farokh Engineer was on Wednesday honoured with a stand named after him at the historic Old Trafford ground in Manchester, which is a rare recognition for an Indian cricketer at an overseas venue.

The B Stand, situated between the Player and Media Centre and the extension of the Hilton Hotel at Old Trafford, was officially designated as the Sir Clive Lloyd and Engineer Stand ahead of the fourth Test between India and England.

Engineer, a former India wicketkeeper-batsman and a Lancashire stalwart during his county career, was present at the ground to witness the emotional unveiling. Also in attendance was West Indies legend Sir Clive Lloyd, with whom the honour is shared. The gesture pays tribute to their lasting impact on Lancashire cricket, both having played pivotal roles in shaping the club’s legacy during the 1970s.
