Farokh Engineer Honored with Stand at Old Trafford
Imagine a famous cricket player, Farokh Engineer, who played a lot of cricket.
Now, at a big cricket ground in England called Old Trafford, they named a stand after him!
This is a special honor, like putting his name on a street sign.
He's only the second Indian cricketer to get this at a foreign ground, after Sachin Tendulkar.
Farokh is very proud and happy, but he also feels it's a bit sad that his home country hasn't given him as much recognition.
He got an award, though, and is very thankful for it.
Farokh Engineer had a stand named after him at Old Trafford, Manchester.
He is the second Indian cricketer to receive such an honor at an overseas ground, after Sachin Tendulkar.
The stand is named the Sir Clive Lloyd and Farokh Engineer Stand.
Engineer expressed pride in the honor and mentioned receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2024.
Engineer played most of his cricket in Bombay and feels his achievements haven't been recognized there.
