MCA provides critical update on Musheer Khan post-road accident

Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has issued an official statement on the all-rounder Musheer Khan related to his accident. The governing body confirmed that the young batter has suffered a fracture in the neck region and is under medical observation.

In what was a shocking development, young Mumbai batter Musheer Khan was involved in a life-threatening accident on Saturday (28th September). The all-rounder met with an accident while traveling from his native place, Azamgarh, to Lucknow to take part in the Irani Cup 2024 match against the Rest of India.

Several reports provided an update about Musheer. But there wasn't any official confirmation about the same and now the Mumbai Cricket Association secretary Abhay Hadap came up with the medical update on the batter while confining about his accident.

Abhay Hadap stated that Musheer was traveling to play in the Irani Cup but met with an accident. He confirmed that the young batter had been admitted to the hospital and was in stable condition. Releasing the official statement, he elaborated:

"Musheer Khan, 19-year-old top-order batter and left-arm spinner met with a road accident on Friday while travelling with his family from Azamgarh to Lucknow to participate in Irani Cup, scheduled from 1st to 5th Oct. Musheer is currently admitted to a hospital in Lucknow, where he remains stable, conscious, and well-oriented. He has sustained a fracture in the neck region and is under close observation."

The statement from the Mumbai Cricket Association also mentioned that Musheer is being monitored by the medical teams of their association as well as BCCI. They also stated that after the batter is declared fit, he will be flown to Mumbai for further assessments. The statement read:

"The BCCI and Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) medical teams are closely monitoring his progress to ensure he receives the best possible care. Once Musheer is deemed medically fit for travel, he will be flown to Mumbai for further evaluation and additional medical treatment. The timeline for his recovery will be determined following these assessments."

Musheer Khan to miss the cricketing action for at least 3 three months after his accident

There were reports that young Musheer will miss the cricketing action for at least 3 three months. This comes as a massive blow for him as he was on the rise in his career and was also in talks to be included in the India A team for the Australia tour.

Not only this, it would also be a massive blow for the Mumbai team as well. Musheer Khan has been one of the exciting players in the Indian domestic cricket. He has been the most consistent batter and was in terrific touch in the recently concluded Duleep Trophy 2024.

With Musheer Khan set to be ruled out of the Irani Cup 2024, the Mumbai Cricket Association is likely to give a debut cap to young batter Ayush Mhatre. It would be a massive opportunity for the young batter to seize the platform and make his case strong
