ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – 25 July 2025: Cricket West Indies (CWI) has congratulated legendary captain Sir Clive Lloyd following the historic naming of a stand in his honour at Old Trafford Cricket Ground, home of Lancashire County Cricket Club.
The stand naming ceremony took place on 23 July before the start of the fourth England vs India Test match. The upper tier of the stand, previously known as the B Stand, will now bear the name of Sir Clive Lloyd, while the lower tier has been dedicated to Farokh Engineer, former India and Lancashire wicketkeeper and Lloyd’s teammate during the 1970s.
“Sir Clive Lloyd exemplifies the very best of West Indies cricket – excellence, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to the highest standards,” said Chris Dehring, CEO of CWI. “His achievements at both county and international level have inspired generations of Caribbean cricketers and continue to serve as a beacon for young players across our region.”
Sir Clive Lloyd’s impact at Lancashire and in world cricket
Sir Clive Lloyd enjoyed a 20-year association with Lancashire beginning in 1968, during which he scored 12,764 runs in 219 matches and hit 30 first-class centuries. He helped the club to multiple trophies, including three consecutive Gillette Cup titles from 1970–1972.
Internationally, Lloyd’s legacy is cemented by leading the West Indies to back-to-back ICC Cricket World Cup victories in 1975 and 1979. He played 110 Test matches and 87 One Day Internationals for the West Indies during a two-decade career that defined an era of Caribbean cricket dominance.
