Mumbai Mumbai. Musheer Khan, who was involved in a horrific car accident while joining the Mumbai team for the Irani Cup this week, has spoken out for the first time since the incident, and expressed his gratitude to everyone who wished him well in his recovery. Musheer, a right-handed batsman and left-arm spinner, suffered a neck fracture in the accident while traveling from his hometown Azamgarh to Lucknow for the Irani Cup match, which begins on October 1 against Rest of India.
He was with his father Naushad Khan when their car hit the divider and overturned several times. Thankfully, both survived, but Musheer's injury will keep him out for a few months, ruling him out of the start of the Irani Cup and Ranji Trophy seasons. “First of all, I thank Allah for this second chance in life. I'm fine now, and my father is also fine,” Musheer said in an Instagram video, in which he appeared with a neck brace. “I appreciate everyone's prayers and well wishes.”
Musheer, who is Sarfaraz Khan's younger brother, will be taken to Mumbai for further investigation after being discharged from Medanta Hospital in Lucknow. His injury is a blow, especially as he was selected for the India A tour of Australia later this year, where he played a brilliant inning of 181 for India B against India A in the Duleep Trophy.
