Accident occurred while he was travelling from his hometown to Lucknow


Lucknow: Indian star cricketer Musheer Khan suffered a neck fracture in a road accident on the outskirts of Lucknow on Friday.
The 19-year-old all-rounder, who recently scored a century on his debut, is currently in stable condition and receiving treatment at Medanta Hospital in Lucknow. Both the BCCI and Mumbai Cricket Association medical teams are in touch with the hospital regarding his care.
The accident occurred while Musheer was travelling from his hometown Azamgarh to Lucknow for the upcoming Irani Cup, set to begin on October 1. His coach and father, Naushad Khan, who was also in the car, sustained only minor injuries. The accident happened on the Purvanchal Expressway after their car collided with a divider and overturned.
Due to the neck injuries, Musheer is expected to be sidelined for at least three months, ruling him out of the start of Mumbai's Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season, which kicks off on October 11. Dr. Bhola Singh, the medical superintendent at Medanta Hospital, stated that Musheer’s condition is stable, and he is not in danger. His treatment is being overseen by Dr Dharmendra Singh, the director of orthopaedics, at the hospital.
Once deemed fit to travel, Musheer will be transferred to Mumbai for further evaluation and treatment, and his recovery timeline will be determined after additional assessments.
Musheer’s injury comes as a setback in what has been a highly promising career so far. He was expected to be a part of India's A team set to tour Australia later this year. In just nine First-Class matches, he has already scored three centuries, including a double hundred in last season’s Ranji Trophy quarter-final.
Musheer had also recently begun the 2024-25 domestic season with a century for India B in the Duleep Trophy against India A. Mumbai, reigning Ranji Trophy champions, are scheduled to face Rest of India in the Irani Cup from October 1-5, followed by their Ranji Trophy opener against Baroda on October 11.
