"It's a shame that ...", after he got the honor in England, Farooq Engineer India tightened, tightened the tough tone
On Wednesday, a yard was named after former wicketkeeper Farooq engineer at Old Trafford, Manchester, who is an unprecedented honor for an Indian on strange ground. The formal name of the ‘b -stand’ between the players and the media center at Old Trafford and on the expansion of the Hilton Hotel was named Sir Clive Lloyd and Farooq Engineer on the first day of the fourth Test between India and England. What did Farooq say while receiving the honor? Both engineer and veteran captain of Western Indian Islands were present for the sake of unveiling the yard who organized in honor of his tremendous contribution to the Lancashire Cricket Club. The engineer told Pti: “It’s a proud moment, not just for me, but also for India. Both clives and I talked about it this morning. We never thought something like that would happen in honor of us. God is great. There is a complete lack of recognition in our own country.” Most of his cricket played in Mumbai played his 87 -year -old engineer who played most of his cricket in Mumbai, especially at Brabourne Stadium. He said: “It’s a shame that my achievements did not get recognition where I played most of my cricket.” However, the engineer thanked the Council of Control for Cricket in 2024 for giving him the ‘Lifetime Achievement’ award. Lancashire Cricket said in a statement: “Lancashire Cricket is pleased to announce that the club named a position in Emirates Old Trafford after the club veterans and Sir Clive Lloyd and Faraucian Engineer, involved in the ‘Hall of Fame’.” Clive Lloyd was also honored. It is said: “The ceremony took place this morning on the first day of the fourth Test between England and India and joined the Sir Clive and Farooq Club to reveal the plaque.” The veteran in the West Indies said it was a luck for him to share this honor with the engineer. He said: “I share this honor with my good friend and brother Farooq, all my colleagues and the supporters of Lancashire who supported me in every difficult time.” Lloyd said: “Cricket has always been a” team game “and at this point of view, my name shows everyone who helped me on this journey.” Captain Lloyd, who won the World Cup twice with the West Indies, played first -class matches for Lancashire between 1968 and 1986.
