Engineer will do the honours in memory of his former teammate Sardesai with whom he opened the batting for India.
Engineer got himself embroiled in a controversy recently when he said the national selectors were seen serving tea to India captain Virat Kohli's wife Anushka Sharma during the World Cup in England. The actress reacted sharply to Engineer's claim and stressed in a note on social media that she is a coffee-drinker.
