Kaieteur Sports – Cricket West Indies (CWI) expressed immense pride and congratulations to Sir Clive Lloyd following the historic naming of a stand in his honour at Old Trafford Cricket Ground by Lancashire County Cricket Club.
The re-naming ceremony, held on Wednesday 23 July ahead of the start of the fourth Test match between England and India, also honoured former Lancashire and India wicket-keeper Farokh Engineer, Sir Clive’s teammate during the 1970s, in recognition of both players’ exceptional service to the club and international cricket.
The stand next to the club’s media centre, known as the B Stand, will now bear Lloyd’s name on its upper tier and Engineer’s on the lower tier.
Sir Clive’s illustrious career included leading the West Indies to consecutive World Cup victories in 1975 and 1979, during an international career which spanned 110 Test matches and 87 One Day Internationals.
His 20-year association with Lancashire, beginning in 1968, saw him become a central figure of the club’s golden era. Sir Clive scored 30 first-class centuries for Lancashire and amassed 12,764 runs in 219 matches across 18 seasons, which helped secure multiple trophies including three successive Gillette Cup victories from 1970 to 1972.
This latest honour comes a month after the legends of that famed first Cricket World Cup win in 1975 were celebrated and feted in Barbados by Cricket West Indies in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of their victory.
Cricket West Indies joins the global cricket community in congratulating Sir Clive Lloyd on this latest and well-deserved recognition and expresses deep appreciation to the Lancashire County Cricket Club for honoring one of the game’s true legends.
