Old Trafford Stand Named for Engineer and Lloyd
Imagine two super-talented cricket players, Farokh Engineer and Sir Clive Lloyd, who played for a team called Lancashire.
They were so good that the team decided to name a stand at their stadium, Old Trafford, after them!
This means a part of the stadium is now called "The Sir Clive Lloyd and Farokh Engineer Stand" to honor their amazing skills.
Engineer was really happy because he felt he didn't get enough recognition in his own country, so this special tribute made him very proud.
Both players helped Lancashire win lots of games, making them legends at the club.
A stand at Old Trafford was named after Farokh Engineer and Sir Clive Lloyd.
The honor was bestowed on Engineer in recognition of his contributions to Lancashire Cricket Club.
Engineer expressed gratitude for the recognition, noting it compensates for lack of recognition in his home country.
Lloyd and Engineer were both present for the unveiling of "The Sir Clive Lloyd and Farokh Engineer Stand."
Both men are Vice-Presidents and Hall of Fame inductees at the Club.
