Engineer told MiD DAY yesterday that he fell and broke his right shoulder over the weekend. Engineer is recovering at his home in Manchester after a short stint in hospital. &ldquo;I am really disappointed that I cannot come to Mumbai to receive my award. I was looking forward to meeting all my friends,&rdquo; said Engineer. The BCCI, apart from honouring Kapil Dev with the CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement award, will present special awards to former Test spinner Bapu Nadkarni and to a family member of the late Eknath Solkar.&nbsp; Engineer said the injury has only added to his arthritis on his right shoulder caused by &ldquo;all the diving and catching during my playing years.&rdquo;&nbsp; Engineer (75) was part of the Indian team that won the 1971 Test series in England under Ajit Wadekar.
