Mumbai cricketer Musheer Khan is facing a lengthy recovery period of at least three months due to a neck fracture sustained in a car accident in Lucknow ¹ ² ³. The 19-year-old all-rounder, who’s also the younger brother of Indian batter Sarfaraz Khan, was traveling with his father Naushad Khan when their car hit a divider and overturned on the Purvanchal Expressway ¹ ³.
Fortunately, Musheer is now stable and out of danger, according to Medanta Hospital, where he’s receiving treatment ¹ ³. However, his injuries will keep him sidelined from the upcoming domestic season, including the Irani Cup and potentially the first part of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season ¹ ³.
This is a significant blow for Musheer, who had a promising start to his career, scoring three centuries and a half-century in nine First-Class games, including a double hundred in last season’s Ranji Trophy quarter-final ¹. The Mumbai Cricket Association and BCCI are closely monitoring his recovery, and once he’s medically fit for travel, he’ll be flown to Mumbai for further evaluation and treatment ¹ ⁴.
