Musheer Khan, brother of India batter Sarfaraz, set to miss Irani Trophy after road accident
Musheer Khan
Musheer Khan, brother of India batter Sarfaraz Khan, willnot be taking part in the upcoming Irani Trophy for Mumbai against Rest of India. This comes after Musheer was involved in a car accident on the outskirts of Lucknow - the venue of the Irani Trophy match which begins October 1.
Musheer suffered neck injuries in the road accident while traveling from Azamgarh (hometown) to Lucknow in a Toyota Fortuner SUV on Saturday (Sep 28). His father Naushad Khan and two others were also in the SUV at the time of accident.
"The SUV collided into a median and toppled," reported cricket news outlet ESPNCricinfo citing eye witness and a member from traffic directorate of Lucknow Police.
The batter was immediately taken to hospital and was treated for concussion with extent of injuries yet to be confirmed. Musheer is expected to be brought to Mumbai soon for a detailed checkup in a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) affiliated hospital.
Apart from Irani Trophy, Musheer is also likely to miss the first few games of upcoming Ranji Trophy (domestic first-class tournament) for Mumbai as well. His team begins the Ranji campaign on October 11 against Baroda.

The accident comes as a setback for the young batter at a time when he had a brilliant start to his first-class career. Musheer has played nine first-class games so far, hitting three tons and a fifty. He hit a double ton in last season's quarter-final, a half-century in the semi-final and a match-winning ton in the final against Vidarbha.
Most recently, he scored 181 in Duleep Trophy for India B while playing against a strong bowling line-up for India A comprising of pacers Akash Deep, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed and spinner Kuldeep Yadav.
The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), meanwhile, is yet to name a replacement for him in the squad.
