Musheer Khan, Father Naushad Injured in a Road Accident While Traveling to Lucknow for Irani Cup

As per Times of India, Musheer Khan was travelling with his father, Naushad Khan, to participate in the Irani Cup in Lucknow. But now, the upstart batter will miss out on the match. More details on the accident and the extent of the injury are yet to be determined.

Reports also mention that Naushad and his son Musheer Khan travelled separately from the Mumbai Team, and they were en route to take part in the Irani Cup, where Mumbai will be facing the Rest of India at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. But since the accident happened, Musheer will be unable to compete. The MCA did not make an official statement, but the selectors would be picking up a replacement for the opening batter.

"He didn't travel with the Mumbai team to Lucknow for the Irani Cup. He was probably travelling from Azamgarh, with his father, to Lucknow when the accident happened," a source reportedly said.

The Mumbai batter was a standout in the Duleep Trophy tournament as the 19-year-old smashed a solid ton for Team India B in his tournament debut. Musheer Khan and his brother, Sarfaraz Khan, stood up for their side and delivered a potent partnership. He came to the limelight during the U129 World Cup, and his performance has continued to impress.
