Musheer Khan, a promising young all-rounder from Mumbai, has spoken publicly for the first time following a severe car accident. On his way to join the Mumbai team for the Irani Cup, the car Musheer was traveling in flipped several times after hitting a divider. Musheer was with his father, Naushad Khan, when the accident occurred, and both fortunately survived.
In a heartfelt video shared on Instagram, Musheer expressed his gratitude to everyone who prayed for his recovery. He emphasized his thankfulness to Allah for giving him “a new life” and reassured everyone that both he and his father were doing well.
Injury Impact and Recovery Plans
Musheer sustained a neck fracture in the accident, which will keep him off the field for several months. This injury means that he will miss the upcoming Irani Cup match as well as the initial games of the Ranji Trophy. The 18-year-old cricketer, who is also the younger brother of Test batter Sarfaraz Khan, was expected to be a key player for Mumbai.
He was also in the running for a spot on the India A team’s tour of Australia later this year, especially after his impressive performance in the Duleep Trophy, where he scored 181 runs for India B. Once discharged from the Medanta Hospital in Lucknow, Musheer will be flown to Mumbai for a detailed medical evaluation.
Naushad Khan’s Reflections
Musheer’s father, Naushad Khan, also appeared in the video, sharing his thoughts on the accident and the recovery process. He expressed deep gratitude for the support they’ve received from well-wishers, friends, and family.
Naushad also thanked the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for their ongoing assistance. He reflected on the importance of patience during difficult times, urging people to be thankful for what they have and to accept life’s challenges with grace. The MCA has yet to announce a replacement for Musheer in the squad for the Irani Cup.
