Kolkata : Sarfaraz Khan’s brother Musheer Khan, the young Batting prodigy has suffered a car accident and suffered a fracture. As a result he’s set to be ruled out from Irani Cup, where he was supposed to play for Mumbai.
According to the reports, the teenager was travelling with his father from Kanpur to Lucknow when the accident occurred.
Musheer was not travelling with the Mumbai team to Lucknow but was on his way from his hometown in Azamgarh with his father, Naushan Khan. The accident happened en route to Lucknow, where he was set to join the team ahead of the Irani Cup fixture.
A source said, “He (Musheer) didn’t travel with the Mumbai team to Lucknow for the Irani Cup. He was probably traveling from his native place, Azamgarh, with his father, to Lucknow when the accident took place.”
Further details are yet to be revealed, but it’s confirmed that this injury will rule him out of Irani Cup starting October 1.
Musheer Khan has been a standout performer in domestic cricket since last season. The left-handed batter made headlines during his debut in the Duleep Trophy, where he smashed a stunning 181-run knock against India A.
His consistent performances have earned him attention from selectors, and he was on the verge of being picked for India A’s upcoming shadow tour with the senior Indian team to Australia later this year.
His staying away from Irani Cup is a big loss for Mumbai.
