Farokh Engineer, the legendary former Indian cricketer, has been immortalized at Old Trafford, Manchester, with a stand being named in his honour. This prestigious tribute was unveiled on July 23, 2025, in conjunction with the start of the fourth Test match between India and England. The event marked a monumental moment, as Engineer became the first Indian cricketer to receive such an honour in England.

Engineer’s legacy extends far beyond his performances in India. He was a key figure at Lancashire Cricket Club, where he played from 1968 to 1976, making significant contributions to the club’s success. Over his distinguished career in county cricket, he appeared in 175 matches, amassing 5,942 runs, 429 catches, and 35 stumpings. His involvement with Lancashire was pivotal to their multiple victories, including four Gillette Cup wins.

Engineer wasn’t alone in receiving such a tribute. Fellow cricket legend Clive Lloyd was also honoured with a stand named after him. To commemorate the occasion, both Engineer and Lloyd rang the bell at Old Trafford, adding a special touch to the ceremony.

For Farokh Engineer, this recognition at Old Trafford is the culmination of a career filled with unforgettable moments. It stands as a fitting reminder of his contributions to the sport, both in India and globally, and the lasting impact he has had on cricket history.
