Farokh Engineer with one Thursday: BBQ K, Sachin Tendulkar’s Old Trafford Hundred and The Wet for Sunil Gavaskar | Cricket news

Timesofindia.com in manchester: A game of club cricket, Gray Sky and mythological Farokh Engineer are watching it from a small pavilion. This setting could not be better because the former India cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar was in the August company and some of his old friends who lived nearby. The fellow of the former team of India was sitting on the bench and he kept a close watch on the action even after the exchange of greetings. “Shot,” when one of Vengsarkar’s trainees hit a straight on the bowler’s head.More than cricket, it was an opportunity for the engineer, who is close to the Urmston Sports Club to meet and meet his old friends. A acquaintance “Jacob Bhai” created an appearance through our conversation and the engineer surprised him. A small bat with Autographs of Sachin Tendulkar, Jasprit Bumrah and some other major cricketers. “I was with the Lord … When the picture was unveiled, he met his wife Anjali with Sechin. What was a loving family,” the engineer says.
Asked about his conversation with Tendulkar over the years, the engineer told a beautiful story, which went back in 1990 when India led by Mohammad Azharuddin arrived here for the second Test. The former India stumper organized a barbecue for visitors and still clearly recall how Tendulkar was sitting on a swing with his two daughters.

“Before he had received his first 100, there was an impromptu barbecue at our house. All the players and comments were there. There was a swing in the back garden. Sachin was sitting there with my two young daughters and his feet were swinging in the air. They were joking with the second day. He got 100 … It was a proud moment for Indian cricket, “the engineer remembers.The Times has now changed and while the Indian cricket team will soon touch Manchester, there will be no impromptu grill. The engineer is eager to meet his old friend Sunil Gavaskar, calling him a dicra, but those days when visitors will spend a quality night in the engineer. He insists that his house is not only open to any Indian cricketer, but also for any Indian. He has settled here comfortably, but the “desi” heart continues to remember India, and keeps remembering the house.

“Okay, those days go when the players used to come to the houses and you all. You know, I do not even know who is the manager these days. But my house is always open to any Indian cricketer or any Indian person. Yes. Yes. You know, because I miss India. But there is no terrible ambassador for India. Yes. If someone speaks sick to me, I do not catch back, “the engineer says.
He continues to chat with his good friend Dileep, who is traveling with his academy team, and wisdom, humor and epic One-Linesers are well on time. Just when the conversation was ending, he assured his partner that he would be done in five minutes, but he knew very little that one-liner was only getting hot. For a person living cricket, it is difficult to get away from it – even at the age of 87 years. This, however, is now a social opportunity to see and see friends on cricket. When he remembers the days spent with “Rockstar” Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara and Mick Jagger at Lord’s, his eyes were still light, and are eager to run in more familiar faces in Old Trafford next week.
