Mumbai, India – Promising young cricketer Musheer Khan has sustained a serious neck injury following a road accident and will miss the upcoming Irani Cup. The incident occurred while the 19-year-old batter was traveling with his father, Naushad Khan, from Azamgarh to Lucknow when their vehicle reportedly flipped multiple times. The cause of the accident remains under investigation.

Musheer, brother of fellow Mumbai cricketer Sarfaraz Khan, is expected to be sidelined for a period ranging from six weeks to three months, depending on the severity of his injury and the recovery process. This injury marks a significant setback for Musheer, who has been making headlines in the Indian domestic cricket circuit.

Over the past year, Musheer has demonstrated exceptional talent, highlighted by his standout performance in the Duleep Trophy, where he scored 181 runs for India B against India A, leading his team to victory. Despite his recent success, his form has fluctuated, with scores of 1, 5, and two ducks in his last four innings.

In first-class cricket, Musheer boasts an impressive average of 51.14, accumulating 716 runs in just 15 innings, which includes three centuries and one half-century. His absence from the Irani Cup will be a significant blow to the Mumbai team, as he was poised to play a crucial role in the tournament.

While there has been no official statement from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) regarding Musheer’s injury, the cricketing community and fans are expressing their support and hoping for a swift recovery.
