Born in Bombay in 1938, Farokh Engineer quickly displayed a prodigious talent with both bat and gloves. Selected to play for the India Starlets in the late 1950s, by 1967 he was signed with Lancashire. Farokh was instrumental in both the renaissance of the Red Rose County's fortunes and in the forging of the Indian team into one of the major forces in world cricket. With a foreword by John Major and highly illustrated, this is an essential read for any cricket fan.
