Musheer Khan’s promising career has been temporarily halted as the Mumbai all-rounder recovers from a car accident he experienced late last month.
The incident occurred on the outskirts of Lucknow while he was enroute to the city from Azamgarh for the Irani Cup. Musheer suffered a neck fracture and has since been seen wearing a neck brace.
He is anticipated to be sidelined for three months, which will unfortunately keep him out of action for the beginning of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season starting 11 October.He also missed the Irani Cup, which Mumbai won for the first time since 1997, defeating Rest of India by eight wickets.
Given the impact of Musheer’s performances in the recent past, there is optimism about his swift return to the field once he is cleared to play.
His impressive batting has garnered acclaim from across the cricketing world, highlighted by a recent photo he shared with Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who was seen resting his hands on Musheer and his father, Naushad Khan.
Musheer’s older brother, Sarfaraz Khan, shared a video on Instagram featuring their father Naushad expressing gratitude for the support they’ve received during this challenging time.
Naushad thanked god for Musheer’s recovery and acknowledged the prayers from well-wishers, fans, and relatives. He also extended his appreciation to the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for their care.
“Good evening. I first want to thank the almighty for the new life. Also to those who prayed for us. Our well-wishers and fans. Our relatives. We thank everyone. Also, we also want to express gratitude to MCA and BCCI who are taking care of Musheer. And what’s for the future, that update will also be given by them. I will just say, whatever we haven’t got, we need to wait for that. Whatever we have got, we have to be grateful. This is what life is,” Naushad said in the video posted by Sarfaraz.
Much like his brother Sarfaraz, Musheer is viewed as a potential key player for the Indian Test team in the future. At just 19 years old, he has already made a significant impact in nine first-class matches, scoring 716 runs at an impressive average of 51.14, including three centuries and a half-century.
