Lancashire to Name Stands for Lloyd, Engineer

Lancashire County Cricket Club will honour legendary cricketers Sir Clive Lloyd and Farokh Engineer by naming stands after them at Old Trafford during the fourth Test between England and India. Lloyd, a former West Indies captain, played for Lancashire for nearly two decades, while Engineer, a former Indian wicket-keeper, was with the club for almost a decade. Both players played pivotal roles in transforming Lancashire's fortunes and led the team to multiple Gillette Cup victories in the early 1970s. The stand-naming ceremony is expected to take place on the opening day of the Test match starting July 23, 2025. Engineer, despite his achievements, does not have a stand named after him at his home ground in Mumbai. The honours are seen as a fitting recognition of their lasting legacy in Lancashire's cricket history.
