Former India wicketkeeper-batsman Farokh Engineer expressed shock over the inclusion of Parthiv Patel in India's Test team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. "I am very happy for Parthiv, but what about younger guys? I was very impressed with Sanju Samson. Unfortunately, we produce batsman-'keepers these days, not wicketkeeper-batsmen. A wicketkeeper has to be a 'keeper first… primarily."

Engineer was speaking at a function to announce the second edition of the '1886 Trophy' — a match between Surrey and an all-Parsee team to be held on December 1 at the Parsee Gymkhana.
