Raised resentment over Mumbai Cricket Association

Engineer (87 years) played most of his cricket at Brabourne Stadium, especially in Mumbai. He said that it is a shame that my achievements did not get respect where I have played most of my cricket. However, the engineer thanked the BCCI in 2024 for awarding him the ‘Lifetime Achievement’ award.

Lancashire Cricket said in a statement, “Lancashire cricket is happy to announce that the club named a stand in Emirates Old Trafford named after Club veterans and Sir Clive Lloyd and Farrukh Engineer in the ‘Hall of Fame’. The ceremony took place on the first day of the fourth Test between England and India this morning in which the representative plaque of the club along with Sir Clive and Farukh attended. ”

He played 175 matches for the club, scoring 5,942 runs and took 429 catches and 35 stumping.
