Lancashire County Cricket Club on Wednesday honoured former India wicketkeeper Farokh Engineer and legendary West Indies captain Clive Lloyd by naming stands after them at the iconic Old Trafford Stadium. The announcement came on the opening day of the fourth Test between India and England, marking an emotional and historic moment for both players.

Engineer, who played for Lancashire between 1968 and 1976, enjoyed a prolific stint with the county. In 175 appearances, he scored 5,942 runs and effected 429 catches along with 35 stumpings. His arrival at Old Trafford heralded a new era for the club, which had endured a lengthy title drought. Engineer’s presence was pivotal in Lancashire’s success in the limited-overs format, particularly their four Gillette Cup triumphs between 1970 and 1975.
