Lancashire County Cricket Club will honour two of its most iconic figures, Farokh Engineer and Clive Lloyd, by naming stands after them at the legendary Old Trafford ground. The tribute will coincide with the fourth Test of the high-octane India-England series, beginning July 23. England currently lead the five-match series 2-1.

The ceremonial unveiling is expected to take place on the opening day of the Test, and will serve as a fitting recognition of the immense contributions both cricketers made to Lancashire`s rich legacy. "It is a fitting honour for the both legends of the club," said the source.

Engineer, the flamboyant wicketkeeper-batter from India, represented Lancashire from 1968 to 1976. In 175 matches for the county, he amassed 5,942 runs, claimed 429 catches, and effected 35 stumpings. Engineer played a pivotal role in reviving the club’s fortunes at a time when major titles had eluded them for over 15 years. He was instrumental in Lancashire’s triumph in the Gillette Cup, which they won four times between 1970 and 1975 during his tenure.
